Don't just see this one--see them all!

This is the first of eight films in a life and death struggle involving Darth Vader's lesser-known brother, Chad. While there really is no life or death struggle, practically everything seems that way to the dim-witted Chad. While looking like Darth Vader (complete with the full costume), he is a bit of a loser and works at a grocery store as a night manager. His wanting to once again become day manager takes on epic proportions and is so utterly silly and overdone, it's a laugh riot. I love watching him try (not very successfully) to use the Force on others as well as all his silly and pointless machinations--all with the typical Darth Vader flair.

Well made despite its low budget (after all, it's a small independent production). For what it is, it has decent props, acting and direction, and its an amateur film that manages to rise above the heap. However, to enjoy it to the max, don't just see this episode but the entire series.
