Shogun Star Warrior

Now this is art! Nerd millionaires should fund artists who can produce this quality of fanart. And then hang it on their expensive, tacky walls. Culture!
It seems this scene - Cloud City Father Confessional - has become myth to a large portion of humanity. It's wonderful to see it happen before my eyes, mythmaking in action. How long it lasts is anyone's guess, but the Star Wars mythology is going strong for now.
As a nerd, I must insist on pointing out Vader really had little to do with the various Death Stars - which are central to the entire storyline, including the prequels. He was just a lackey; everything was all about the Emperor.

His father's basic lackeyness was actually the hardest thing for Luke to come to terms with.

"Nerd millionaires should fund artists who can produce this quality of fanart." Isn't that basically a definition of the internet?

Most nerds on the interweb are fairly poor. Only a select few make dot com big bucks.

And Vader's overall lackeyness is an interesting twist on the myth, since he's also the focal point of fear in the first trio of movies.
