Idle Screenplays: Star Wars: Battlefront - Is It A 'Stormtrooper'?

Exec 1: "Gary?"

Exec 2: "Yes Mike?"

Exec 1: "You know how our Instagram campaign for Star Wars: Battlefront looks perfect and lovely on mobile and how we cleverly designed it for their 3x3 viewable grid?"

Exec 2: "Yes."

Exec 1: "Do you ever worry that it might look like the worst round of Catchphrase in the universe on PC - a jumbled mess which people interpret as a guessing game and feel slightly weirded out when the final image - the "reveal" - is just a blank space and a tiny slice of shoulder?"

Exec 2: "You know how we had that talk about you raising these kinds of questions during the planning stage and not while we're halfway through publishing the campaign?

Exec 1: "Sorry. Uh..."

Exec 2: "You're going to do it again, aren't you?"

Exec 1: "No no! It's just..."

Exec 2: "Spit it out, Mike."

Exec 1: "Do you think having @eastarwars as our username makes it look like we're making a spelling mistake on a game called 'Easter Wars'"

Exec 2: "... I hate you."

Is the answer 'Stormtrooper'?
