    Also this: The Vader Sessions. Circa 2006. Its shtick is that it’s Mr. Earl doing the bits, but it’s really a demo reel for a production company.

    Basketball is a peaceful planet!

  • heligo

    This was funny for about 2 what’s. Then it got boring fast

    • awjt

       what???

    • Donald Petersen

      I dunno, at first I was “kinda cute,” but by the end I was crying with laughter.  It’s all in the timing.  That and picturing Sebastian Shaw’s face all scrunched up in a querulous old man way inside the helmet.

      Made my day.

      • Calum Halpin

         David Prowse was Vader’s body.

        • Just Good Sense

          WHAT?!

        • Donald Petersen

          Well, of course he was.  But he was never Vader’s face.

  • timquinn

    This is, in fact, a new theory of Vader’s history. Later in life his disability was misinterpreted as impatience and a lot of people died as a result. It is believed that his lieutenants knew how to set up situations to achieve the required permissions to act without fear of retribution. War is nasty business but federation building brings out the worst in people.

    Hmmm, the AAA batteries in Lord Vader’s hearing aid seemed to have died again.

  • pjcamp

    Can’t hear, and someone took James Earl Jones’ balls.

    I’d actually watch that movie. Star Wars, not so much.

    This makes me wonder what the entire series would be like if you could just hear Vader breathing without any dialogue. 

    • jimh

      I think it would be awesome if all Vader’s dialogue was cut and he was just the heavy breathing strong silent type, and occasionally choked someone to death!
