Why Darth Vader is Actually Santa




Recently we took the boys to see Darth Vader and several stormtroopers at a neighberhood mall. I now realized that after seeing kids follow Darth Vader around like not the 'bad guy of the universe' he is that he may actually be someone else.

Here are my reasons why I believe Darth Vader is actually Santa Claus in the off season.

1. You can easily hide the beard and other distinguishable features under the mask. Without the mask anyone can pick out Santa from a distance.

2. The voice changing technology in the mask covers up his ho ho ho to a breathy sound

3. His dark costume (black) covers up the over weight issue normally associated to Santa.

4. Lastly, Kids flock to him.




Here's the photo from WEM

Good call Kev. I bet Santa has to put up with alot of crap... spoiled rich kids and such. It's probabaly a good release for him to cut down some people, and crush a few windpipes... you know - working out the angst.

Yeah i would expect 'Santa in a Darth Vader Costume' would need 364 days release to make up for one night of delivering toys to everyone in the world.
