Filbert died during the evening of his 212th birthday. A day before
he was due to open another park in his honour. It was a peaceful
death. All his favourite droids were there. Some were saddened by his
decision, others relieved.
Now the title of best living male actor
was up for grabs. His collection of 59 Oscars would take
some beating. He collected 3 for his last project: The Robot King of
Mars just last week. His critics were touting the fact that he
wouldn't be getting more, ignoring that his closest rival had 7 and
already retired from acting.
Much to the disappointment of his large
family of 3478 members he left all his money, assets and future
royalty earnings to the robot charity: "For the Betterment of
Young Destitute Robot Actors."
All 3578 family members lodged appeals
and complaints one second after Filbert's last will and testament was
announced. All 3578 cases were rejected 0.1 seconds later.
His actions were applauded by his fans,
supporters and public in general. All 3578 family members sent out
statements that they weren't after his wealth and it was all their
lawyer's fault. The lawyer didn't mind because he was paid 3578 times
twice for the appeals and issuing the statements.
Filbert had a calm and triumphant smile
on his face when he was deactivated by an "On Time Pass Away"
device.
Some speculated it was a publicity
stunt, but with new conspiracy theories and another statue of him
being bronzed there was one thing everyone knew for sure, Filbert
would never be forgotten.
