It’s time for another game of “would you rather,” where you have to make the hard choices. This week, we explore the subject of certain death.
The Scenario:
You’re chilling in your basement when two figures appear in front of you with a flash of light. One is Q, the prankster god from Star Trek. The other is the ghost of Yoda, the wise and humorous sage. The two of them offer you a chance to enter the sci-fi franchise of your choice, to be in the world of Star Trek or Star Wars for one hour. The only catch? You have to become either an Imperial Stormtrooper or a security officer (red shirt) aboard the Enterprise, guaranteed to die. Which would you choose?
The Ground Rules:
- You can only choose one of the two.
- If you choose to be an Imperial stormtrooper, you’ll be stationed aboard the Death Star, one hour before Luke Skywalker blows it up.
- If you choose to be a red shirt, you’ll be stationed aboard the Enterprise one hour before you accompany Kirk, Spock, and McCoy to a planet of green, slimy alien monsters that are explosively turning people inside out.
- No matter which character you choose, you will die.
- You cannot change your fate: no sneaking off the Death Star or hiding in a Jeffries tube to avoid going on the away mission.

In that scenario can't I just stay home and not enter either universe? After some soul searching I decided to be a red shirt because at least then you're not all the same guy. It's slightly less depressing I think that way.
ditto… i have a name, dammit!
I chose an Imperial stormtrooper…this seems to be the less painful death. Unless I inadvertently cut Lord Vader off from the mens room and he Force chokes me!
You could be THX1138.
Red shirt – I'm dead.
