Governor's Gambit - Star Wars SI into Imperial Governor

No problem! It's a reference to Youtuber Seals are Good's series on Star Wars where there is the gag that Anakin wrote a doctorate thesis on The Tragedy of Darth Plagueis the Wise for sake of getting knighted and Palpatine embarasses himself by trying to tell him about it.
-Anakin calling people that start conversation about the tragedy by asking if they heard it before complete morons since everyone has heard it
-Palpatine DESPISING how boring is hearing the ofscreen thesis and him being the only normal man in the galaxy
-Dooku knows the future and has heard a 'legend'(Star Wars Legends) about everything and everyone that hears him either completly understands him or starts doing Ketamine(Yoda) in an attempt to stop the future from coming to be
-Everytime someone asks him about what 'BBY' stands and he begins explaining the scene is cut off
-Anakin becomes Darth Academus and purges the temple by reading them The Thesis and everyone kills themselves (exception the Jedi librarians that loved it and Palpatine who aged a century in 30 minutes)
-Obi-wan being salty Anakin's thesis was more popular than his own on the High Ground
-Ashoka is a libertarian
-Padme is equally pasionate about thesis and philosophy as Anakin and they are a genuinly cute couple
-A 30 minutes long video on Anakin doing an introductory course on the Thesis(it has genuinly real philosophical concepts in it)
-We are currently awaiting the long dreamed about philosophical debate between Anakin and Obi-wan on Mustafar
-and many more
That's the badger! as soon as I started reading your response it all came flooding back, thank you.
 
After that, I ran through some more stuff. An order for some more textbooks and economical analysis, alongside a bundle of philosophy texts. I was branching out, you see. That and they were on sale. But that one called Thesis on the Dichotomy of some tale or another seemed interesting enough.

Anakin, is that you? Did you finish your masterpiece yet?

"Well sir, that comes down to the TIE launch bays" He states, furry hand clicking around on the hologram terminal.

The projection shimmers as an x-ray view of the ship appears, with a series of tunnels and hangars highlighted in red.

"The mechanism allows for TIE's to be launched and landed with ease, not to mention shunted through maintenance and refueling before being put back in the launch bays. The thing is, most of this is in fact overengineered. Whoever designed it seemed to want to impress the Advisor more than build a good ship."

Did we got Battlestar launch tubes? Honestly, those would be a quite good thing for the Empire even without the Maintenance Bays.
Launch Tubes allows rapid launch of fighters, and in extreme speed as well. Which is very useful in situations where the Rebels ambush Empire ships.
 
"I need dossiers on all the Moffs top people. Then I need dossiers on who would be best to replace them with."

"...no way" It seems he caught on.

"Unfortunately , yes."
"Of course he doesn't want the publicity of being the ruler, instead we will manouver someone else into the position and become the power behind the throne. Sasuga Las sama"-Las's inner circle
 
Coffee grinders work even better for things like this.
If you don't have an old grinder, check around on garage sales, or thrift shops. You can get a working electric grinder for nothing.
And then just grind normal sugar into powdered sugar.
Grind normal salt into popcorn salt.
I even ground Oat bran into flour with it.
Just make sure to clean it properly after every use, and before you use it the first time.
Nothing fucks up machinery like a fine coating of salt and neglected grain product. Between water getting absorbed by the flour and setting off the salt corrosion, starch glue maybe forming, and all the insects unsealed flour attracts, you need to keep it clean.
Also, remember your machine's intended workload. Something meant to run for 30 seconds at a time every half hour or so at most grinding coffee likely skimped out on heat management. Small batches are your friend.

Yes, there are grinding solutions to clean both burr and bladed grinders, but they are generally expensive.
Good way is to just grind oats with a teaspoon of baking soda. That should clean most of the dirt, and if you leave it inside for like 30 minutes it should even neutralize most of the smells. But that's for extreme dirtiness. If there are fatty stains (coffee can be very oily, and if people do not clean it, it can become sticky, hard and smelly) just keep wiping with a bit of alcohol on a piece of rag or a cotton swab.
But that's only if extremely dirty.
After grinding dry stuff, just use a soft brush and remove everything with it. Maybe blow on it a bit, or use compressed air, wipe with a damp towel. Don't use excessive water.
