“I am your father.” “Impressive. Most impressive.” “The Force is strong with this one.” That Darth Vader is one quotable guy. DeviantArt user etrav689 took Vader’s many quotes — even some by Anakin Skywalker — and crafted this tribute to the Sith Lord, made entirely out of typography. What do you think of the finished product? Read more »
In the event of a dire situation — like, for example, finding out you killed the only woman you’ve ever loved while in the midst of a psychotic rage – press this button. Wish I had that as a ringtone. It’s pretty much how I feel every time I have to talk on the blasted thing. Read more »
![Star Wars Tai Chi Starring Darth Vader [Video]](http://www.forevergeek.com/wp-content/media/2010/09/Darth-Vader-Yoga-150x150.png)
Sure Darth Vader and his Stormtroopers may have the dark side to aid them in their battles, but there’s nothing like staying nice and limber as well, that’s where a daily routine of Tai Chi comes into play. Notice the lazy Stormtroopers in the background who are doing little more than standing around. Watch as Darth Vader does his Lift Knee Thrust Upward pose and his Turn Body, Thrust Downward Pose among 40 other moves in the style of Star Wars. Here’s the video: Read more »
David Prowse, the actor who played Darth Vader in the original Star Wars films is no longer allowed to attend official Star Wars and other related Lucas Film based events. Prowse has been attending official events since the Star Wars Trilogy debuted, however he has had an ongoing feud with George Lucas after his lines were dubbed over by James Earl Jones before the first movie debuted, that dubbing occurred without his knowledge. Prowse was also replaced by actor Sebastian Shaw in the famous scene in which Darth Vader finally removes his mask to reveal his face. The Lucas/Prowse feud allegedly hit full steam ahead when it was believed Prowse Read more »
You are about to see geeky viral marketing at its very best. These two videos showcase Yoda and Darth Vader recording lines for new Star Wars-themed TomTom Voices. (TomTom is a GPS navigator system.)

![Darth Vader Plays In World Cup, Promotes Netbooks [Video]](http://www.forevergeek.com/wp-content/media/2010/06/Darth-Vader-Soccer-Screen-Shot-150x150.png)
My only language is English so I’m not positive what this video is promoting, but I’m pretty sure it’s a line of Star Wars friendly notebooks with internet and TV service. In any case it’s pretty funny. In the video Darth Vader is setup for a shootout kick in which he pushes the ball past the goalie using the force, never actually placing a foot on the ball, a move that pisses off a player from the other team, leading Vader to choke the player with the force. Yeah it’s a little goofy but it’s a really clever promotional tool. Here’s the video: Read more »
Say what you will about Episodes I-III of the Star Wars series, one thing they did very well was the lightsabers. Right off the bat they were slicing through doors, turning robots into victims of a laser-formed ginsu knife, and let’s not even get started about Darth Maul’s double-sided piece of awesome. It was one of the neat things about those films. So what better way to keep all of that Star Trek fan fiction you’ve been writing in one place than with a pair of lightsaber bookends? That’s right, you too can have it appear like your books are the victim of a Sith lord’s lightsaber, all for just Read more »
The Star Wars Stormtrooper is an iconic figure known the world round. I don’t know too many people who couldn’t identify the white and black armored figure, and he’s one of my personal favorites. There have been quite a few different variations on the character over the years, but now there are a few more out in the wild. The 501st Legion is a group of Star Wars enthusiasts who all have and wear costumes from the Star Wars series, particularly those from the empire. Everything from Darth Vader, the Royal Guards and even a few Galactic Marines all make appearances in the group, and they’ve been going strong for Read more »
