  In this paper we study the financial repercussions of the destruction of two
fully armed and operational moon-sized battle stations ("Death Stars") in a
4-year period and the dissolution of the galactic government in Star Wars. The
emphasis of this work is to calibrate and simulate a model of the banking and
financial systems within the galaxy. Along these lines, we measure the level of
systemic risk that may have been generated by the death of Emperor Palpatine
and the destruction of the second Death Star. We conclude by finding the
economic resources the Rebel Alliance would need to have in reserve in order to
prevent a financial crisis from gripping the galaxy through an optimally
allocated banking bailout.
