Whoever works for movie-list doesn't get Bathos, do they?

I was just scrolling through movie-list (Friday afternoon skiving? Me?) and decided to watch the trailer for the new Star wars film, because I'm a bit of a geek like that. You might have noticed.
It wasn't the trailer that made me laugh out loud, though, it was the plot synopsis of the new film:
"After three years of fighting in the Clone Wars, Anakin Skywalker begins his journey towards the Dark Side of the Force, putting his friendship with Obi Wan Kenobi and his marriage at risk."

"Putting his friendship and his marriage at risk"?
I mean, talk about understatement.
Then again, with George Lucas writing the script, I suppose anything is possible:

Anakin: I was thinking about turning to the Dark Side
Obi-Wan: Ooooh, that might jeopardise our friendship, you know.
Amidala: And I might go off you a bit
Anakin: No you wouldn't
Amidala: No I wouldn't.

Well, it's no different than Attack of the Clones;

Anakin: Amidala, I love you.
Amidala: Oh, Anny, we can't. It wouldn't be right.

Later, Anakin returns from visiting the sand people.

Anakin: I slaughtered them all. I used hatred and anger and the dark side, and killed hundreds of women and children.
Amidala: Anny, I love you.

Chicks dig a man with a bit of a dark side, you know.

Hence why Darth Vader (and, indeed, any member of the Imperial forces, down to the lowliest stormtrooper) is inherently cooler than Luke Skywalker.

You aren't kidding: Ding Dong!>

But still he manages to win.

Dead and Cool.

Alive, Jedi Master and a bad haircut.

Self-certified Jedi Master, let's remember.

[twicedead.livejournal.com]

OK, at least a Jedi.

"Vader, you must face Vader, only then a Jedi will you be."

And lets face it, when he's the only Jedi, he gets to make all the rules.

"I wanna Purple lightsabre."

"My haircut is cool."

"Black is the new brown."

Something went terribly wrong with Jango Fett's DNA after one of the Kaminoans accidentally left their DNA sample in their jean's pocket when they washed them.

Yeah, he just paid for his degree.
