May the Force be with You

I'm looking forward to seeing the final episode of Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith next week. To better understand the inner thoughts of Darth Vader (and for a GREAT laugh) you should check out his blog The Darth Side: Memoirs of a Monster. A brief exerp is:

The problem is solved now, however. I crushed his trachea with my mind, and promoted Piett to command the fleet. I have transmitted to following note to Ozzel’s kin:
Dear House of Ozzel,

I regret to inform you that your son has been killed in the line of duty.

He was an incompetent, yammering boob and he will be missed by none. I have allowed the men to pillage his personal belongings, which is why we have enclosed nothing but the sole remaining item: a torn advertisements page from a magazine of midget pornography. May it shock and disturb you, and may you think of it always when you remember your dearly departed son, the ninny.

Know also that his limitations as a sub-par military professional caused the deaths of many of the Emperor’s loyal soldiers, whose funeral expenses will appear on your next tax assessment.

Sincerely,
D. Vader



The marketing machine behind Star Wars is HUGE. It can been seen everywhere from Pringles to Pepsi to now even LEGOs !!! (But I do have to admit, the LEGO Death Star is pretty cool.)

Finally, before Anakin Skywalker finally transforms into Darth Vader, I would like to suggest he read Things I'd Do If I Ever Became An Evil Overlord... for a very helpful (and humorous) look at the do's and dont's to intergalactic domination.
