I can see it now:

Imperial Holonet reporters were stunned today when learning of the mass suicides. "We couldn't believe that the female population would get all worked up like this. Sure, it was a pretty "ornament" but this is taking things too far, " commented Lt. Col Afbkar Rech, security and public relations representative for thegalaxy-wide ImperialHolonet. "We decieded to implement some new combat startagies regulations due to the ongoing Rebel Alliance "dirty tactics", but we were unprepared for the response by most female members of the Galaxies. Nightsister Arm Bracers belong to the Empire, that's just it. We wanted to even the "playing field" and also the Emperor would like to melt them all down to send over to manufacturing CDEF pistol factories to use as cheap base materials, to further the war against the Rebels."

"How can I entertain people when my basic form of "advertisement" has beenforcibaly cut off me?" cried a 34 year old Twilek dancer. "Its like Ive been exploited!"

"More like raped," says a fellow entertainer named "Carmie," sitting next to the Twilek dancer, who has been entertaining patrons in the Mos Esisely Cantina for 2 years now. "I was given my Bracer as a gift from a regular patron, now they take my best form of advertisment away from me! It was how I was able to be "recgonized" whenever I came in here! People would "OOOh and Ahhhh" and even beg me to sell it! Like I WOULD!" Carmie laughs and takes a long drag on her flambaa. "Beginning entertainers looked up to me, " she continued in a rough tone of voice, "I had "STATUS", y'know! It was veryimportant to me for me to look my best whenever I performed for the crowds. I'm still thinking about whether or not to commit suicide like my other "Sisters" but Im considering it. This regime is really making me think twiceabout how they handle things and what stress they are putting me and my fellow entertainers under. You just can't express yourself anymore.

We'll see what happens," she adds, "Im willing to cooperate if things are positive," adding that she agrees with the Imperial policies of most of the Galaxy.

Imperial Policy Officials weren'tavaliable for comment.
