• Against. I don't get it. - Sikon 05:01, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

• Comment Haven't you ever seen The Wizard of Oz?-- Sir Severian (Sprich mit mir!) 05:16, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

• The 1936-or-something version? No. Should I have? Even with this explanation, I still don't think mixing Star Wars with anything automatically makes it funny. - Sikon 09:10, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

• No, Star Wars mashups aren't automatically funny. If you had seen WoZ you'd find this pic funny, hopefully. The Lollipop Guild/Munchkins are annoying characters that sing an annoying song and inhabit an annoying place called Munchkin land. This makes them a triple threat of irritation. This also means that if you saw WoZ, in all probability you'd be cheering for Lord Vader. It's tough to get a mashup when you've seen the mash but not the up.--Sir Modusoperandi ^Boinc! 00:03, 28 August 2006 (UTC)

• For. I'm trying this with a new caption. Feel free to revert.--<<>> 05:17, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

I've tryed to capture the humor of both in a NEW caption.--<<>> 05:19, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

Hmm, I don't know. Initially I wrote the idea down as "Darth Vader Vs. Lollipop Guild" and the caption "Lord Vader reluctantly crushes the Lollipop Guild" came from that. It's simple and to the point. Besides, "younglings" conjures up the prequels...and the less said about those, the better...--Sir Modusoperandi ^Boinc! 05:22, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

Eh, if yours works better, go ahead and revert, I won't cry. The pic just conjured up thoughts of Vader vs. the Younglings. Also, I'm a fan of longer captions. But whatever...--<<>> 05:24, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

I think I prefer the original one...but I'm open to new ideas. Anybody else have an opinion?--Sir Modusoperandi ^Boinc! 05:25, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

...checked my gallery. The full original caption was, "Lord Vader reluctantly crushes the Lollipop Guild (Star Wars: A Very Special Edition)". It's got a nice ring to it.--Sir Modusoperandi ^Boinc! 07:02, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

I changed it back. The original caption really brings home the political satire of big, bad government crushing the little guy. Or, more probably, I just made that up.--Sir Modusoperandi ^Boinc! 03:57, 28 August 2006 (UTC)

• Against, and on anouther point, are you aware that Vaders mask was modled after a samuria mask? --The Zombiebaron 22:22, 28 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Yes, plus the text on his chest is Hebrew, and on another point, weren't you the guy in front of me in line at ComicTrekSciWarsWhoCon?--Sir Modusoperandi ^Boinc! 23:09, 28 August 2006 (UTC)

On a related point, Shatner and Nemoi are coming to Toronto and I'm not going to be in town to meet them! --The Zombiebaron 23:14, 28 August 2006 (UTC)

On another related point, weren't we once both stuffed simultaneously into the same locker after gym class?--Sir Modusoperandi ^Boinc! 23:41, 28 August 2006 (UTC)
