Star Wars...the truth behind

[windrunner]

(Setting: A furious lightsaber duel is underway. Darth Vader is backing Luke Skywalker towards the end of the gantry. A quick move by Vader chops off Luke's hand. It goes spinning off into the ventilation shaft. Luke backs away. He looks around, but realizes there's nowhere to go but straight down....)

Darth Vader: Obi Wan never told you what happened to your father.

Luke: He told me enough! He told me you killed him!

Darth Vader: No, Luke... I am your father!

Luke: No! It's not true! It's impossible.

Darth Vader: Search your feelings... you know it to be true.

Luke: NO!

Darth Vader: Yes, it is true... and you know what else? You know that brass droid of yours?

Luke: Threepio?

Darth Vader : Yes, C-3PO. I built him -- when I was only seven years old.

Luke: No!

Darth Vade : Seven years old! And what have you done? Look at yourself: No lightsaber, no hand, no job and couldn't even levitate your own ship out of the swamp...

Luke: I destroyed the Death Star!

Darth Vader: When you were 20! When I was ten, I single-handedly destroyed a Trade Federation Droid Control ship!

Luke: Well, it's not my fault...

Darth Vader: Oh, here we go... “Poor me! My father never gave me what I wanted for my birthday... boo hoo, my daddy's the Dark Lord of the Sith...waahhh wahhh!”

Luke: Shut up.

Darth Vader: You're a slacker! By the time I was your age, I had exterminated the Jedi knights!

Luke: I used to race my T-16 through Beggar's Canyon!

Darth Vader: Oh, for the love of the Emperor...! Listen, ten years old and winner of the Boonta Eve Open, the only human to ever fly a Pod Racer -- right here, baby!, You know what?, I was wrong. You're not my kid. I don't know whose you are, but you sure as hell ain't mine.

(Luke takes a step off the platform, hesitates, then plunges down the shaft. Darth Vader looks at him.)

Darth Vader : And don't come back without getting a haircut!'

I love it!

Now if we can just get Maveric straightened out so he doesn't buzz the ship with his wingman on one engine ....

;D

I saw a t-shirt the other day that had a siloette of Vader's head on it and said "VADER WAS FRAMED".

[windrunner]

lol, that was very funny.

I don't know about you, but I am a big Vader's fan since my childhood. Going back to the 70s, when the first Star Wars comed out, I went to the cinema to see the film, and saw it for 5 times...that same year I went to the Usa with my parents for the first time, and I forced them to buy me each Star Wars object I saw: T-shirt, plastic models, and even a pair of socks with Vader's face. From Miami to New YOrk, there was no mall or small shop that escaped my raids.

Some years later, I readed a very interesting article about the fascination that Vader's figure has among childs. It was full of psicologia and psicological ideas. Basically, childs identify themselves with Vader's immage because of his power; he is everything a little child is not.

Of course, the psicologist doesn't know childs have lot of power, at least the power of constrain poor fathers to do what they want! and if you have some kids around you certainly knows what I mean.

No, I'm not much into Star Wars. I did, however, see it at a drive-in movie theater in the back of my parents 1976 Plymouth Volare station wagon.
