Darth and Luke

Fathers Day would not be complete without Darth Vader jokes. Star Wars fans of a certain age still haven't gotten over the twist in The Empire Strikes Back, the one that turned a single space adventure into an epic family saga. Too bad that was the peak of the series. Dragging Leia into the family didn't happen until The Return of the Jedi, and never made much sense anyway. I think Lucas just did that solely so we wouldn't feel bad for the hero who didn't get the girl in the end. But I digress.

In this holiday vignette from LEGO, we finally see what caused Darth Vader to do a sudden turnaround and decide his loyalties were with his son instead of the Emperor. A simple gift causes Vader to think about all the things that might have been if he had spent his time as a dad instead of a Sith Lord. (via Geeks Are Sexy)
