Star Wars with occasional sarcasm
Blogger Jason Moore has gathered The 50 Most Unique Representations Of Darth Vader. Many are familiar, some less so… In fact, the saddest thing is that I’ve seen or blogged so many of these. I’m also kind of sad he missed my Darth Vader pimp cup, but then I’ve never seen it online at all.
Featured on Cake Wrecks today: A Darth Vader baby shower cake. Awesome? Awful? You tell me:

Like any good Jawa, I go into Etsy looking for posting material and I come out with far too much. So this time, instead of throwing a huge list at you folks, I’m splitting it up. First up, art.
Next set will be up Monday. Happy browsing!
Remember last week’s drive-by Stormtrooper? Well, the folks at Kinod Photography got Vader in on the action as well. There’s even a wallpaper version.
Scrap the Maker? The relaunched Sci-Fi Wire (now in blog form!) has come up with nine reasons for George Lucas to retire already. Cinematical then made a poll out of it, and ‘yes, please’ is winning.

Andy Helms has embarked on an illustration product to draw a Dude A Day, last year, and several Star Wars characters showed up in November. (via)

It’s funny because it’s true. Dear George, it’s all true, except I think that whole theory about Boba Fett improving anything got thrown out circa Attack of the Clones.
I’m a total grinch about the holiday season, but John Scalzi isn’t. He’s included Darth Vader in his SciFi Thanksgiving:
I’m thankful for Darth Vader. In the last 30-some years, has there been a better villain in all of film — not just science fiction film, but film in general? I tell you, there is not (Hannibal Lecter comes close, but dude. Vader could use his Force powers to feed him his own liver with a nice Chianti). Vader is so badass that he survived George Lucas turning him into a whiny loser in the prequel trilogy. Think about that.
Heartwarming no? Hey, at least we’re not in space. UPDATE: Underwired puts The Clone Wars on their list.
But there’s something out there to cure even me: puppies. (LFL has a shiba connection?) Though no word if the puppycam will be up and running today.
