I recently got done watching the prequel trilogy. Of my family, my hubby is the only one who really can't get into it. Maybe it takes time-- I don't know. I have asked him several times on the subject, and the only answer I keep getting is that he doesn't know either. . Then last weekend, I started messing around on the computer and found a way to put Star Wars wallpaper on my profile. Why didn't I do this before, you ask??? Mostly because we just used one user profile on it. Now that I have my own user profile, I can put it on!! . Who do you think is on my wallpaper??? If you guessed Darth Vader, you are correct!!! .

Now I have to ask you what is the appeal of Vader???? . I've been pondering that myself lately. I am not sure I have a single definitive answer for that. Is it because as a little girl growing up, Vader struck me as a dark menacing character. (Trust me on this-- at 7 years old, watching him board the Tantive IV for the first time ever in 1977 does leave an impression on you). Or is it the backstory of how Anakin Skywalker became a Sith Lord, taking the name Darth Vader??? Each of us fans look at him differently, I'm sure. All I know is that to my family, Vader has an appeal to this family. We like him in the OT better (I like Anakin, too, ladies!! Don't get me wrong!). Or is is because Vader is such a kick butt character???? Maybe. It's just that there is something about that tall, dark figure in black armorweave bodysuit and flowing black cloak and helmet, carrying a crimson blade. Just ask our ownWifeofVader. She and I have been brought together as friends on the internet because of our ties to Vader. Even my husband admits he prefers the character of Vader over Anakin. And my oldest son sees Vader's appeal. All I know is, when it comes to my family, I can always count on them to watch the OT because we love Vader. In my house, VADER ROCKS!!! Nuff said!! .
