‘Now The Cliché Is Complete’ – Or What The Force Is It About Darth Vadar And THAT Word?

Currently on British TV they are showing the three original Star Wars movies, along with The Last Jedi. Think they’re ashamed of The Force Awakens or something, even though it was the best one ever made.

They are being played every single night, now, for a whole week.

What they have in common is Luke Skywalker in it, played by Mark Hamill, George Lucas’ favourite one-trick pony

Anyone know why? Is he next in line to croak it and they’re getting in the tribute season early? As opposed to his acting career which has been dead for almost forty years (name anything he ever did outside of that series which wasn’t a voiceover that you can remember without going to IMDb?).

But has anyone else noticed that Darth Vadar (who was the Dark Lord before J. K. Rowling plagerised the term for Voldemort) appears a little obsessed with a particular word?

No, not ‘Jedi.’

A New Hope: ‘I’ve been waiting for you, Obi-Wan. We meet again, at last. The circle is now complete.’

The Empire Strikes Back: ‘Join me and I will complete your training.’

Return Of The Jedi: ‘The Death Star will be completed on schedule.’

Return Of The Jedi: ‘Your skills are complete. Indeed, you are powerful, as the Emperor has foreseen.’

Return Of The Jedi: ‘Obi-Wan was wise to hide her from me. Now his failure is complete.’
