Now playing in Star Wars Reenactment Theater: "Homer Simpson IS Darth Vader"! [via]

This could have been amazing, but in a daring move it settled for "merely good-ish" instead.

The internet needs less balls like these.

Good idea. Poor execution.

Awww, that fell just short enough of awesomeness to plummet into mediocrity. Were someone to redo this with a larger bank of samples and more attention paid to continuity, it would be brilliant.

I am, however, still amused.

Or, y'know, what everyone else has said so far.

They probably teach this in film school but rendering at the right aspect ratio is a key for success.

I find its lack of awesomeness depressing.

Nowhere near as good as The Vader Sessions.

May 13 was Mole Day. I don't see why August 13 can't be [Darth] Maul Day.

oh, and uh...language on that is NSFW.

Not very good, idea had potential though.

Leia needs braces! Dentaal Plan!

Nowhere near as good as Darth Schwarzenegger. Also with NSFW language.

I was expecting that they had fed a bunch of Homer Simpson talking into that thing that Roger Ebert has, and were using it to run through actual SW dialog. Which would have been awesome.

This was... less.

And Vader is the enemy of affordable health care.
