Everyone needs a hero. Someone to look up to. Someone you look at and say...Damn, I wanna be like him when I grow up. (Yes, I swore even as a child.)
Most people would guess mine would be Iron Man. I'm a huge fan, have all of the comic books and most of the toys. But no, before that it was...
Darth Vader.
Think about it. The last ass kicking Jedi still sucking wind. Right hand to the dude the rules the fucking GALAXY. The old man falls down a turbo shaft and guess who's large and in charge? Able to move things with your mind, strangling people from across the room (tell me you have NOT wanted to do that a few times yourself), you get the best TIE Fighter they make, custom build for you, and let us not forget.... Lightsaber.
Oh sure, he got his ass handed to him by an hippy in a bathrobe and a snot nosed farmboy, but hey, we all have our off days.
You can't tell me he didn't have an effective management style.
And hey, he did the right thing in the end.
There's a lot to look up to here.
Here is the shrine to the Dark Lord of the Sith in my house. Complete with a mosaic print, an authentic replica lightsaber and not visible are a couple of rare Darth Vader action figures that are still on the card.
With this dude as my hero, it's only a matter of time before I'm ruling the galaxy. So, what's it gonna be? Are you with me or against me?
