Darth Vader goes all Sybil on us...

... and channels roles from the entire career of James Earl Jones. That's the premise of this very funny short, "Vader Sessions," from Akjak Moving Pictures, in which the Imperial Villain speaks in Jones' voice through sound clips from "The Great White Hope" to "Clear and Present Danger" to "A Family Thing." (I kept waiting for him to announce: "This... is CNN.") I know: Is it possible for yet another "Star Wars" parody to be funny? I think these guys have demonstrated that it is. I'd love to know the sources of all the dialog used -- so feel free to post a comment with whatever you recognize.

I remember a few lines were from the awful movie Soul Man. My father and I were watching it on TV and I distinctly recall the lines:

I'm extremely impressed by the way your work has improved over the course of a semester. You have learned a great deal more than I thought.

I remember that because I quickly interjected, "But you are not a Jedi, yet."
