Evangelical Darth Vader Finds Your Lack of Faith Disturbing

*force choke*

Want to know how to make Darth Vader, the iconic vent-mouth-breathing Bad Guy™ from the Star Wars films, into a bigger prick than he already is? Turn him into a Bible thumper.

I'll go right ahead and say it then: The Force is quite strong in StSandersMisc, the YouTube user behind this parody of classic scenes from A New Hope. The whole thing is eerily on point, featuring the voice of Vader himself, James Earl Jones, who narrated The Bible on tape back in 2002.

I mean, what better way to reimagine the Sith Lord's first appearance on screen than with a bit from the book of Revelations? "Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath. That old serpent, Satan." So good.

Of course, the Star Wars universe is rife with religious themes. Good vs. Evil. Light vs. Dark. It's just a perfect match. But perhaps what really makes it are the deadpan reactions of others as Vader spouts the Word and force chokes who he damn well pleases. Hallelujah!
