The ability to destroy a planet's economy is insignificant next to the power of the Force!

Man, you know the recession is in full effect when a Dark Lord of the Sith can't get a job! He probably can't apply for unemployment either, since the last place he worked was on Coruscant and I don't think New York will honor that...plus, he did throw his last employer into a Power Core shaft and I think that is grounds for termination.
