I am Your Father.

I divorced myself from Star Wars after watching Episode One. It was relatively painless–after the shock of that experience, I walked out and never looked back. This doesn’t mean that I regret the fond memories we had back in the Star Wars and Empire Strikes Back days.

GameBoy and I particularly love that scene when Darth Vader reveals Luke Skywalker’s parentage. We like doing little twists on it:

Vader: Luke, I am your father. [Takes off helmet, revealing Ewok head.]
Luke: NYOOOOOOOoooooooo!!!

or:

Vader: Luke, I am your…mother!
Luke: NYOOOOOOOoooooooo!!!

or we’ll do a mashup with other movies:

Sauron: Frodo, I am your father.
Frodo: NYOOOOOOOoooooooo!!!

or:

Snape: Harry, I am your father.
Harry Potter: NYOOOOOOOoooooooo!!!
Snape: I’m just messing with you. But 20 points from Gryffindor!

This is in poor taste, but I can’t resist:

God [at Jesus’ baptism]: Jesus, I am your father.
Jesus: Whoa.

Tag. Your turn.

del.icio.us:I am Your Father. digg:I am Your Father. furl:I am Your Father. reddit:I am Your Father. fark:I am Your Father.

    I like the Black Sheep version:

    Chris Farley [into a fan]: Luuuuuuuuke. I am your faaaaaather, Luuuuuuuke.
    David Spade [upon encountering Farley & fan]: Am I interrupting something?

    ‘Course there’s always Leia:

    Leia: Luke, I am your sister.
    Solo [sitting near the twins]: Yes!

    You may not get this one if you haven’t seen the “first three” episodes, but

    Padme/Amidala [through her giant hair]: Niki, I’m old enough to be your mother…
    George Lucas [realizing one of many mistakes]: D’oh!
