   Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, Grue.

   I, for one, would probably spontaneously combust if I saw that in my driveway...

   ...as long as George Lucas WASN'T IN IT...

   First Lucas marches with the Stormtroopers in the Rose Bowl parade, now he buys a "Darth Vader Car." Could it be possible that George Lucas is developing a sense of humor? Can a special edition DVD release of the Star Wars Holiday Special be far behind?

   Well yes, I'd be pretty ecstatic too if someone decided to give me a £120,000 car.

   But the design of this car just reminds me of slightly melted plastic or wax.

   Yeah, but it's Darth Vader-shaped melted plastic...

    I would also love it if someone gave me that car. So I could sell it and get money for a less hideous vehicle.

    I can't tell... I don't like cars.

    I just like them when they've got a lady on in the magazines and pinup portraits ^^ but not for the car itself but for the articles...

    I would like to point out that Lucas was a car freak in his teens, and that a lot of the racing and chase scenes in the Star Wars and Indiana jones flicks were because he loved racing sports cars.
    One of his early student films is shots of cars, and there are race scenes in both American Graffiti and THX 1138.
    When he was in grade 12, he crashed a convertible sports car he was driving. The car itself was wrapped around a tree, and the impact was so violent that the racing seatbelt that Lucas had installed was ripped out of the car by the bolts. Lucas spent several weeks in hospital, felt lucky to be alive, and decided to make something of his life. He was failing Grade 12 at the time. He decided to go to film school...
    And I think that fucker looks sweet.
