Star Wars Episode V – Poster T-shirt - 2XL

Star Wars Episode V Poster T-shirt I The Empire Strikes Back Darth Vader decides that Luke Skywalker should know the truth. The problem is that Vader has his own pedagogical method. A normal father might start with: “Luke, there is something important we need to talk about.” Vader starts instead with a lightsaber duel. So a bit of psychological pressure. Then he cuts off Luke’s hand. And only then does he assess that the student is ready for today’s most important learning objective: “Good, Luke. Now let’s go through the family relations.” Luke meanwhile dangles over an endless abyss, which does not exactly seem like optimal conditions for new information. This Star Wars Episode V T-shirt honors Darth Vader, Luke Skywalker, Cloud City, and the scene where one of film history’s biggest family revelations is delivered with absolutely zero sense of timing. Vader could have started with the family tree. He chose to start with the hand. Nerdshop tip: If you’re going to tell your son a family secret, start with a cup of coffee. Not a lightsaber and an amputation.
