SPOILERS: If you have not watched Empire Strikes Back, two things. 1) This post contains spoilers. 2) Do yourself a favor, ignore the numbering and watch the Star Wars Saga the way it was meant to be seen. Watch in this order: Star Wars (it may be known as A New Hope, but the title is and always should be Star Wars), Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi. That's all there is to it. There was some really bad schlock associated with the trilogy and if you must watch it, then you can add The Star Wars Holiday Special to the list.
There will come a day when you think one (or both) of your parents is the worst parent in the world. They may have taken away your LED flashlight as you hid under your covers reading Tolkien or won't let you make blue milk or worse yet mis-pronounced Neil Gaiman's name. But keep in mind that as bad as your parent(s) may seem, they pale in comparison to one of the worst parents in this or any other galaxy.
Meet Darth Vader, nee Anakin (Annie) Skywalker, Lord of the Sith, former Jedi Knight, Slaughterer of Sand-People, Massacarist of Padawans and Daughter Torturer.
Luke: He told me enough. He told me that you killed him.
Vader: No, I am your father. Search your feelings. You know it to be true.
Luke: NOOOOOOOO.
Yes, Luke, that's your Dad! Make sure you send him a card on the 3rd Sunday in June. If not, he may find your lack of fealty disturbing and force choke you.
So, just remember, the next time your parents won't let you go to Toshii Station to pick up some power converters, it could be a lot worse!
