Please feel free to adapt this to other media as desired. My idea: A New Yorker single-panel cartoon. Storm Troopers on the left, Darth Zeno (a ancient #Greek #philosopher in toga and sandals with a half-helmet open to see his high brow and classical beard) in the middle and #LandoCalrissian on the right with the caption and the quote as above.

"We will provide you an update when the work is complete."
(next paragraph)
"While the work will never be done..."
