Characters

You may have figured out by now that I am a bit of a Star Wars fan. My brother is openly geeked out as well. Anyway, a few years ago, we made a comparison and contrast between our mom and her mother (our grandmother) and Darth Vadar and the Emperor respectfully. As in the Star Wars saga the Emperor controls Vadar even though he may not like it or even be aware of it. This struggle rings true with Vadar's and the Emperor's twins.

Just this morning Vadar tried using one of the most subtle yet very powerful assets in her arsenal. Jewish mom guilt.
(phone call)
Me: "Ice ice baby", remember that song?
Vadar: Huh???
Me: You know, "ice ice..." Vanilla Ice from the 80's" (actually released in 1990)
Vadar: No, don't know what you are talking about.
Me: Were you alive in the 80's?
(get ready, here it comes)
Vadar: You remember, I was married to your father. (POW!!!!)


I love her sooo much.

Difference between Vader and Mother:

Instead of the dark side she has Jewish guilt

No black cloak but she does on occasion sport a purple robe with pockets. Vader didn’t have pockets.

Darth Vader’s weakness was the paternal connection to his twin offspring. Her weakness is toast. When did she start eating fucking toast all the time? Seriously.


Vader’s weapon of choice: the light saber. Her weapon of choice: a 2006 white Jeta. It might even be deadlier.

Now that she has that metal knee, she’s ¼ of the way to being completely Vader. However, this could happen in the next 10 years?

And last but not least, Vader’s mother (the Emperor). The only difference between those two is their height and choices in footwear. Other than that, they’re perfectly identical.

Thought they took your computer privileges away after the incident in the quiet room. I can only give you one piece of advice when meeting with the Emperor, don't stare at the eye. I repeat, DO NOT STARE at the EYE!
