So are we all.










In time, none of this will matter.


I'm sure there was once a little boy in 1378 who just loved the local puppet theater and believed there could be nothing better than that story and show. The puppets moved on strings so thin it was virtually invisible -- and it was incredible. So lifelike. All the village locals loved it. The show traveled England... became huge... everyone was talking about it.

Now... no one has any idea what I'm talking about.

Truth. Be we are already there Wor. Most of the kids I work with never have seen Star Wars.....

They care more about Internet personalities and video games.

More and more, the older I get, the more people meet that have never seen SW.

When I do meet one, it's a guarentee they share it because of a family member who is a hardcore fan.

Time is fleeting, and so is our time on this Earth. I think about it daily.

Your post reminds me the time I saw a child playing with a ruby the size of a tangerine. A bandit had been throwing them away. Because he thought it was good sport. Because some men aren't looking for anything logical, like money. They can't be bought, bullied, reasoned, or negotiated - wait........

What's everyone's favourite Vader line? Weirdly the first one that pops into my head is, "Prepare your troops for a surface attack."

"You have failed me for the last time, Admiral, and you must be punished. You will confine yourself to our Royal Suit at the Waldorf-Astoria."

On a serious note, for me, there wasn't a Vader line more impactful than "No... I am your father". My parents weren't Star Wars fans when I was a kid, but they rented the trilogy one day, and we watched it over a weekend. Being unspoiled about the series, the reveal was so shocking.

and ''leave them to me, I will deal with them myself'' has also been one I often say.

I'm rather partial to "I find your lack of faith disturbing".

While there are many epic lines of dialogue from Vader my favorites still remains…

“Luke, thank the maker that I didn’t name your sister Princess Amandla.”
