Art Virgin

I spent a day modeling in an art studio.  It was amazing.  I have never been so surrounded in a 360 degree way by art while making art.  It was my very first time and the whole thing was so overwhelming but I just want the universe to know, WOWSAWESOMEXCELLENTOTALLYES!

Proof Darth Vader is a Good Guy!

1.  He killed the Emperor.  The ultimate evil in the universe at the time.  This makes him absolutely good.

2. He is the father of Luke and Leia.  They are the last HOPE in the universe and are genetically half his make-up.

3.  At the end of Star Wars: A New Hope when Luke is in the trench on the Death Star and about to take his shot Vader has lasers locked.  He doesn't take the shot.  He hesitates.  Then comes the MF to knock him sideways but he already had hesitated.  MF=Millenium Falcon

4.  He spends his days murdering the leadership of the Imperialistic army.  He chokes out, sentences to death, light sabers and otherwise dispatches Admirals, Generals, Colonels, Majors, Captains etc... In military conflict knocking off the leadership of your enemy is EXTREMELY productive.  He was the inside man doing lots of damage!

5.  He could have killed Luke in Empire but only chopped off a hand.  Typical dad...maybe not, ultimate evil...no way.

6.  He chooses to spare Leia from Governor Tarkin in New Hope.  Tarkin sentences her to death but Darth suggest that "she may still be of some use" thus saving her.  Again dad to the rescue!  Actually it's Obi, Luke, Han, Chewy, C3, and R2 to the rescue...but I digress.

So the list is not extremely long but I believe collectively offers up the proof that Vader is a good guy.  His behavior in critical moments had helped save the universe.  I also offer proof of his daily work for good which is often overlooked.  I am not saying Vader is great but definitely he is good.

Unrelated Observations:

R2D2 used the force to disable the red R2 unit that Uncle Owen almost bought so he would be the unit purchased.  The force.  I just noticed this after watching the movie maybe 100+ times.  Just sayin I might be dumb...but I seent it.
