It’s Father’s Day already? That’s not true! That’s impossible!

    Almost seems like you should have had a picture of Luke standing (yelling?) before Darth Vader, saying “Happy Father’s Day!”

  2. tfulton says:

    Happy Father’s Day to you too.

  3. David V.S. says:

    Thank you, and to you as well!

  4. swimon says:

    plain awesome ^^

  5. Cuthalion says:

    That is awesome. I’m forwarding this to my dad. Also, Shamus is a father, right? Happy Father’s Day, Shamus!

  6. Mari says:

    Happy Father’s Day to you too, Shamus. Hope your kids are doing something awesome to let you know how much they appreciate their uber-cool dad (though you’re not quite as cool as Vader. Then again, who is?).

  7. Irridium says:

    Which reminds me, I should probably call my dad…

    Happy Father’s day!

  8. MichaelG says:

    I find your lack of a father’s day present disturbing.

  9. Another Scott says:

    NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOoooooooooooooooooooooooooo

    1. Dev Null says:

  10. Now, I might be being a bit heartless here, but doesn’t the destruction of entire worlds and the enslavement of entire races sort’ve forfeit the Father’s Day annual card and gift approach?

    I know Dads who get shafted on that one for missing Alimony. Kinda puts genocide in perspective.

      So you’re saying Stalin probably wasn’t entitled to a Father’s Day bottle of vodka from the kiddos? Man, he would have totally sent your butt to Siberia for that.

      1. Irridium says:

        All Stalin really wanted was a hug.

    2. Audacity says:

      I don’t about you, but I’m proud to have a galaxy conquering badass for a father!

      Happy Father’s Day y’all!

      EDIT: Crap, I miss-typed my email address. Where’s my fedora!?!

      1. Axle says:

        Even of the father has a history of domestic violence (cutting off his son’s hand) and horrible acting?

  11. wtrmute says:

    In my country, Father’s day is the second Sunday in August. But happy Father’s day to all the daddies who are commemorating it today!

    1. Daf says:

      Huh, ours is the first Sunday in September.
      It’s strange how Father’s Day is so disparate (anywhere from March in Portugal to December in Thailand) but Mother’s Day is fairly uniform (mostly 1st/2nd Sunday of May, only UK is in March).

    2. Axle says:

      Over here we have a “family day” somewhere in January/February (depends on the Hebrew calendar). It used to be a “mother’s day” but us fathers felt neglected, so about 20 years ago it was changed to “family day” to please everyone (except the mothers).

      Happy farther’s day to ya all!

    3. Phoenix says:

      In Germany, we celebrate Father’s Day on the same date as Ascension Day, so it’s also a public holiday ;).(Reason enough for parts of the male population to go out and get hammered :D)

  12. Andy_Panthro says:

    Heh, I saw a t-shirt today with Vader on it and the message “I am your father”.

  13. Grey_Area says:

    That’s right. Darth Vader wants you to turn to the Dark Side. And the Dark Side is run by Hallmark Greeting Cards! Do not underestimate the power of poor greeting card poetry.

    Bah, I’m a bit of a humbug with the whole mother’s / father’s day thing. I don’t even do much for Valentine’s day either. I prefer to show my love and gratitude throughout the year on days of my own choosing, and without cards.

    But that picture is pretty cool. I think my dad will be getting an email with that in it this year…

  14. Jarenth says:

    Fine, then I’ll be the one to say it.

    Erhem.

    “Search your feelings, you *know* it to be true! Now, I hope you got me a nice father’s day gift!”

    “Noooooo!”

    1. acronix says:

      Oh, so that´s why he cut Luke´s hand, he wanted a gift from his son!

      1. Ramsus says:

        I can’t think of a more touching gesture than a son having his hand cut off to replace the one his father lost years ago.
