It seems the
Tokyo Game Show's intense draw extends beyond international borders and well into intergalactic, fictional universes, a fact highlighted by Saturday's arrival of one Darth Vader. The force-choking, emperor-dunking Jedi was seen leading an imperial march through the show floor, glaring intensely at cosplayers and scolding his accompanying stormtroopers for being unable to complete the
Resident Evil: Umbrella Chronicles demo.
When quizzed about his favorite games at the show, Mr. Vader blamed
Chocobo's Mysterious Dungeon for putting something resembling a smile on his horribly scarred face. He also noted disappointment in the response of Japanese gamers to
Halo 3's "
Believe" marketing campaign, describing their lack of faith as "disturbing."

I cringe every time I see Darth Vader with an FX light saber from Master Replicas. It just raises the cheese factor.

i know, he wouldn't just be walking around with his lightsaber on. it'd be clipped on his belt

I was in Vegas when spike did their first game awards. They hired 100 guys to dress up as stormtroopers to act as security. Its weird, being surounded by stormtroopers makes you nervous.

The ending is great, saying he "found their lack of faith disturbing" ROFL

What the hell is Darth Vader doing at the TGS? He should be in space protecting the Death Star or something.
-Seriously though LOL!

Weirdest Vader I ever saw was in Victoria, BC. He as on a street corner in full armor playing the fiddle.

Was Darth Vader able to speak japanese. If so, I NEED video of that.
