The Darthside blog is brilliant stuff.  Found it via Vodka pundit.  How'd you find it?

A regular blog I read linked to it almost a month ago.  I've been hooked ever since. It's some of the best parody around with outstanding writing, an intricate knowledge of the original SW trilogy, and some hilarious musings.

It seems like the release date everyone's (well, most of society, questionable or not)  been talking about just crept up on us.  Who else is gonna be Vader'ing-out next week?

Well, for one, Vader himself is Vader'ing out . . .

These movies have always been on the cutting edge of special effects, but there is tons of cheese in them. I enjoy the series as much as many 30-somethings, but there is much to wince at throughout the released 5 movies:

> Anakin's pathetic pick-up line: "I don't like sand. It's rough. Not like your skin."
> Luke's pouty whining to his Uncle Owen: "But I was going into Toshi Station to pick up some power converters!"
> Jar-Jar Binks' ebonics. All of them, Okey-day?
> The wooden dummy that is Jake Lloyd in Episode I.
> Luke's wailing: "Nooooooooo! Noooo!"

Lucas is an amazing visual director. Too bad he can't direct actual people and give them compelling dialog.
