I actually thought Darth Vader *was* Santa Claus for the first 25 years of my life. My family was poor, so my step-dad used to dress up in black trash bags, and combined with his respirator, I thought he was dressed up as Darth Vader. So when my mom caught him sneaking into our rooms at night and trying to give us candy, she said that he was Santa Claus. After that I couldn't watch Star Wars without crying because I couldn't figure out why Santa wanted to kill Obi Wan and Luke, and why everyone hated Santa. Plus, when my mom was busy with clients and made me sit in the corner, she told me that if I wasn't quiet and sat still, Santa would come and chop my hand off with his light-saber. Since the Sith use red and green light-sabers, this made a weird amount of sense to me. So, technically, Santa\Darth Vader *was* my father. A lot of therapy ensued, but after searching my feelings, I knew it to be true.
