7 Classic Star Wars Characters Who Totally Dropped the Ball

Post by Cail »

According to Cracked.
Of course Darth Vader, being that seven-foot-tall bionic killing machine, has a definition of "fire" that is more in line with the common definition of "strangle to death". If Grand Moff Tarkin hadn't told Vader to stop, he probably would've thrown Motti out the goddamn window like Patrick Swayze in Road House. As it stands, we're pretty sure the Admiral had been promoted to cleaning toilets on the detention level by the time Luke blows the place up at the end.

I'd like to add Yada to the list.
He's a total dick.
A little bit of compassion would have kept Anakin on the good side.
Obi-Wan is right up there too. He lets Anakin's Mom remain a slave for years? wtf? Total dick.

I'd like to add George Lucas to the list, for making the prequels.
