Any avid fan of the many Star Wars movies out there is already very familiar with one of the lead evil characters, Darth Vader—who in the movies is portrayed as a dark Jedi Knight who joins the forces of evil and dictates the empirical control of the universe. Well take that insight with you as your bear with the creators of “Chad Vader” and you will have whooping time as you laugh your heart out—in some cases uncontrollably—as this comedy series, as made popular by Youtube.com, is just out of this world funny.

“Chad Vader - Day Shift Manager: Episode One” (Blame Society Productions, 2006) is a fresh, original and hilarious outtake on one of Sci-Fi’s best known infamous characters: Darth Vader. The show takes on the assumption that Darth Vader was to live on the planet Earth in the present day—where he has a child named Chad Vader. Chad works at a convenience store as a dayshift manager and is eloquently dressed in the same garb as his father; a black robed outfit complete with electronic monitoring systems, the melon eyed helmet and of course his father’s famously deepened voice as it modulates from beneath the helmet (as portrayed by James Earl Jones in the real Star Wars movies).

The whims of Chad Vader are ominously present from the very onset of the episode, where Chad is strolling down one of the aisles of the store and stops behind a store employee—who is dressed in the store uniform—and begins to lecture him on the fact that he has not completed his assigned task of organizing the goods on the shelf. The employee retorts by explaining that he has indeed not finished his task. Vader reminds him, “You have failed me for the last time!” The employee responds by saying, “Yeah, you told me that last time I talked to you.” The obvious humor is derived from the many speeches as given by Darth Vader in the popular Star Wars movie series.

The rest of the episode follows Chad as he embarks upon trying to dictate the happenings of the convenience store—often complaining to his boss about how his underlings are incompetent, incapable and are worthy of execution for violating empirical laws. All to which he is forced to stomach the reality that he himself is just another store employee that answers to a human boss who really does not care—letting Chad Vader know coyly that he must work out his differences with other employees and work together.

From originality to just plain outrageously hilarious antics—Chad Vader is an instant comedy classic. It takes the viewer on a hysterical ride that is sure to make anyone who has ever watched the Star Wars movies chuckle. Considering that this webisode has already had more than 6.5-million views on YouTube.com, since the company first posted it in July of 2006, Chad Vader is well on his way to capturing the comedic side of people who love Star Wars.
