[Belgian fast food chain creates new burgers to celebrate Phantom Menace 3D](http://shine.yahoo.com/shine-food/fast-food-chain-serves-black-burgers-star-wars-170400919.html). The have the Dark Burger, the Jedi Burger and the Darth Vader Burger. The Darth Vader Burger has black food dye in the buns. I suppose they taste normal enough. But wow. If you’re in France after Jan. 31st, let us know how they taste. ---

There’s got to be a better way than simple black food coloring. I made a hockey puck cake last year and everyone could tell who ate some. That stuff stains. Maybe it’s pumpernickel with a little extra black. Bring back [C-3PO’s](http://www.thisisapokalipsis.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/c3pos.jpg)! ---

I’ve seen womp rats back home more appealing than that. And yes, I ran through five pages of comments. A fair bit of repeats but lots of good Star Wars humor. And not a single comment about Bush or Obama or terrorists or the evil federal gubmint taking away our rights. ---

Given what we saw of him before he was armored at the end of _Revenge of the Sith,_ I would venture to say that Darth Vader does, in fact, have black buns. ---

The very fact that he survived is amazing. Think about the shock fatality of such wounds. Anakin lost … what a hand and two legs? (Please correct me here) And obviously had severe and incurable lung damage. He is one of the most iconic figures in the last 30+ years. I think of him as the hero of the story. ---
