Mr Bob mentioned this hilarious blog to me this evening. It’s a journal of Darth Vader himself about his life at the head of the Imperial Order. It really gives the whole Star Wars universe a more humane and real feel :).

Extract:

“Big day. Storming the rebel ice fortress.

Took a nap first so I would be peppy. Leg feels pretty good.

Admiral Ozzol took the fleet out of hyberspace too close to Hoth, and the Rebel Alliance were — you guessed it — alerted to our approach. The cornerstone of Ozzel’s arrogance is his insistence that rebel technology is so vastly inferior to Imperial technology that we need broker no caution.

This attitude is typical of a man who could not rephase his own fusion orb if his life depended on it. He cannot fathom what rebel engineers may accomplish out of desperation.”

An example of a comment on the blog:

“Mr. Vader
We are glad to finally have caught up with you. Apparantly you had a legal name change two decades ago. This letter is to inform you that you owe fines and backfees for an outstanding Pod parking ticket in the amount of 2,347,895 Imperial Credits. Please make arrangements to pay this immediately or fact the immediate revokation of your Pod Racing license.

Regards,
Mos Eisley Parking Authority
Tantooine”

Hilarious. :)
