Video: “Darth Vader in Love”

The funniest Star Wars humor is usually the simplest. This is nothing but a sight gag strung out to eight minutes, but it had me in hysterics, at least for the first 90 seconds. What makes it work is the letter-perfect recreation of the costumes and set. You’re in the honest-to-goodness Star Wars universe — except, in the blink of an eye, you’re not.

After the initial shock the script writes itself. But stick with it. Part three has its moments.

Good production values, and very funny. Better than Chad Vader

“An olive must’ve went down the wrong pipe” – hilarious.

Gives a whole new meaning to the expression “bumping uglies”.

As a long time Star Wars fan (you might have noticed my nick name) I loved this and have forwarded the link to the rest of my Star War’s fan freinds.

At least he’s more sympathetic and much less whiny than the Hayden Christiansen version. I swear, that punk almost ruined Darth Vader for me.

ReubenJCogburn on October 29, 2007 at 5:03 PM

You smell nice.

BWAhahahaha!!

That last clip made me shed a tear, and wet myself.

I confused the symbol with my cloak.

After that it was all over for me. LOL what a great piece of work.

Very clever and well done. I like the part where the boyfriend is introduced to Vader.

“I wonder if his Schwartz is as big as mine?”

Made my night. I’m such an idiot.

That was fun to watch!

He’s an actor, he just does what the script says. It’s not his fault Vader had to be whiny, it’s Lucas’s fault.

Must be a slow news day.

Hey, at least he got SOME kind of emotion out of Mannequin Skywalker.

James on October 30, 2007 at 1:34 PM

Not bad, at all… Nice work on the pink costume. Good, GOOD production value, indeed.
