In the square off between Luke Skywalker and Darth Vader, was Luke going about it all wrong?
I was watching an old Star Wars rerun where Luke Skywalker and Darth Vader are going after it with light sabers. And Darth Baby throws out, "Release your anger, Luke. Only your hatred can destroy me now!" And I was thinking, you know Vader is a trickster...a real enigma. You always have to keep your eye on him 'cause you never what he's up to next. Trickie ie...shifts left, then right. "HA! I gotcha!" Well anyway, I think the real thing that would have gotten him was just the opposite...like incredible politeness. You've heard the expression "Kill 'em with kindness"? So maybe if Luke had tried a different approach, like complimenting Darth on his fine taste in black capes and fashionable headgear. Or maybe offering him a chair to sit down or a cool drink after his long flight. Maybe gotten him a Hot Pocket or how 'bout a foot mage? Yeah! I bet 'ol Darth would have melted like the Wicked Witch when Dorothy threw water, "Oh what a world! What a world!". What'cha think?
