Wayfaring type teacher will be our special guest.
Above: My good friend Leland Hill, from a secret display created by my GD1 class in his honor at VCUQ, some years ago. Leland will be visiting MPLS soon and working with a few of my classes, we wish him welcome!
Et un défi, ô Seigneur des Ténèbres!
Above: Prepare yourself for battle, Monsieur Hill.

As designers, we have to think of all the angles here.

[pauses]
Darth Vader: Luke, you do not yet realize your importance. You have only begun to discover your power. Join me, and I will complete your training. With our combined strength, we can end this destructive conflict and bring order to the galaxy.
Luke: I’ll never join you!
Darth Vader: If you only knew the power of the Dark Side. Obi-Wan never told you what happened to your father.
Luke: He told me enough! He told me *you* killed him!
Darth Vader: No. *I* am your father.
Luke: No. No. That’s not true. That’s impossible!
Darth Vader: Search your feelings, you *know* it to be true!
Luke: [anguished] No! Nooooo!
Erik Brandt added these words on Mar 15 09 at 4:33 PMI make this statement that I am fully aware that by quoting this text and revealing the fact that I have a “light sabre,” may mean a complete loss of credibility in Blogistan. That being said:
Yoda: Yes, run! Yes, a Jedi’s strength flows from the Force. But beware of the dark side. Anger, fear, aggression; the dark side of the Force are they. Easily they flow, quick to join you in a fight. If once you start down the dark path, forever will it dominate your destiny, consume you it will, as it did Obi-Wan’s apprentice.
Luke: Vader… Is the dark side stronger?
Yoda: No, no, no. Quicker, easier, more seductive.
Luke: But how am I to know the good side from the bad?
Yoda: You will know… when you are calm, at peace, passive. A Jedi uses the Force for knowledge and defense, never for attack.

Fixed.
Dylan C. Lathrop added these words on Mar 15 09 at 10:13 PMI appreciate this being so well commented and filled with Star Wars references. Can this blog become Geotypodeathstar?
Chris Burns added these words on Mar 16 09 at 12:46 AMThe ability to destroy a planet - is insignificant - next to the the power of the blog.
Erik Brandt added these words on Mar 16 09 at 12:35 PMI know, so sorry, Andy, my sincere apologies. But… “If you strike me down, I shall become more powerful than you could possibly imagine.”
