My Father's Day Celebration with Luke's Father

By Eric L. Lipman

Commemorating the arrival of the Star Wars memorabilia collection to the Minnesota Science Museum, the children and I had the occasion to visit with Darth Vader, Sith Lord and aide-de-camp to Emperor Palpetine.

As we are both government officials, our conversation began convivially enough. He and I agreed about a great many subjects ? including the satisfactions of wearing basic black at work and the need to bring greater order to the galaxy. Regrettably, however, to his core Vader remains a monarchist. And it is there that we part ways.

Because Vader is never gracious at a conversational impasse, our exchange ended with him holding me aloft with his mystic powers and choking me to the point of collapse.

Still, as our family found out, the exhibit, which runs through August 24, 2008, is great fun for fans of all ages.
