I haven’t listened to the post-story chat yet, but that is easily the strongest story on this cast to date. That Überman guy was well written and well acted. Very creepy.

Unbelievably, I was walking through the store and I saw a white Darth Vader toy you could buy. It was some kind of Snow Vader. I think it’s only a matter of time before we can all get our hands on our very own Aqua-Vader.

I’d like to see an Aqua-Vader action figure

Oh, yeah, I saw that Clone Wars cartoon. I guess that makes me an Uber-geek too (here’s a question, can an Uber-geek defeat Uberman? Maybe that’s why the details to his capture were sketchy in his mind. He didn’t wan’t to admit that he’d been pwned by a geek.)

Now, we’ve established that Vader’s light saber works under water, is he allowed to have special added breathing gear to take on the shark? Batman gets a new suit for every situation (judging by the number of strange toys I’ve seen on the shelves at the store…a white Batman?….oh, snow gear) so why can’t Vader?

Thanks, guys, it sure was a fun one to record.

I can just see Vader and the two stormtroopers, drinking down below decks, hearing the mournful call of the krayt dragon all around them. And Vader starts in on the destruction of the Death Star, and how he was left all alone out in the cold vastness of space, debris and wreckage and bits of Imperials floating around him, stuck in this tiny TIE Fighter. Days of waiting to be picked up and rescued, and then finally, a star destroyer comes along, the massive thing passing close by, surveying the remnants of the space station.

“You know, TK478, that was the time I was the most frightened, waiting for the Destroyer’s sensors to detect me. I’ll never put on a lifejacket again.”

Oh, and by the way, the story was great and made even better by your performance of it. Probably one of my favorite episodes yet.

Considering I am in fact an Uber-Geek I can at least answer the second part of that question: yes, a lightsaber works under water, as seen in the first Clone Wars cartoon series.

a) Not sure – I imagine if he had an air supply in his Vader suit it probably is limited. Like a whale he’d have to come up to breath every few hours.
b) No idea. You probably need to consult an Über-Geek.

I was thinking Darth and at least two Storm troopers in a fishing boat (like the one in the movie) just a few miles out from Amity Island vs. the 25 foot great white.

It would be a heck of a battle, but in the end I don’t think the dark side could prevail over millions of years of evolution.

As far as a battle between Vader and Bruce the Shark goes:
a) can Darth Vader breathe underwater? and
b) can a lightsaber work underwater?
