| In an attempt to appease the Star Wars geeks I may have offended with my article the inagural inductee into the Hall of Badassitude is the Dark Lord of the Sith Darth Vader. Vader is the ultimate badass - a seven foot tall world class fencer who is part robot and has James Earl Jones' voice. He can chop you up with his lightsaber or use his mastery of the Dark Side of the Force to crush your head between his index finger and thumb from all the way across the room. I'm not really sure how George Lucas is going to continue the destruction of Vader's credibility in the next crappy prequel, Star Wars Episode III: Attack of Darth Vader, but my understanding from the original trilogy was that he single-handedly slaughtered almost all of the Jedi Knights. This makes him awesome because even though Jedis are whiny windbags they seem to be hard to beat up. He was only finally defeated when he had a crappy stroke of stupid conscience and decided not to murder his own son. But now he at least gets to party in the afterlife with Yoda and Obi-Wan and I guess there are less badass ways to spend eternity. |
