Well, at least it gives me a valid excuse to link to [How Darth Vader Got His Groove Back](http://www.campchaos.com/othershows/whatisdeepfried/02.html). (Flash.) Also, if, like me, you tend to think about Star Wars _far_ too much, you’ll appreciate [this usenet thread](http://groups.google.com/groups?hl=en&safe=off&th=38df51bd82a3dd07). (My Star Wars saturation is evidenced by [this 1980 photograph](http://www.larrytaylor.wox.org/photos/muddchemist.jpg), from before I turned to the Dark Side.) ---

I didn’t have time to watch the whole thing - does it actually do the whole movie scene-for-scene? If so that’s a hell of a lot of work put into that. ---
