When 'Star Wars' Got Darth Vader Wrong

Vader deserved so much more than what the last few films have given him

When 'Star Wars' Got Darth Vader Wrong
Disney/Lucasfilm

Throughout the years, Darth Vader has creeped his way into many films in the star wars saga. These are some of the moments when filmmakers have completely misunderstood his character. A sheer evil presence, a conflicted former Jedi. Vader deserved so much more than he was given these last few Star Wars films.

1. Midi-what?In 'The Phantom Menace', Qui-Gon Jinn is takes a blood sample from young Anakin Skywalker and tests his Midi-chlorian counts, which tell how force-sensitive a person is. This completely retcons the idea that the Force is a spiritual presence that is followed in a religious sense.

2. NOOOOOOOO

The infamous scene from 'Revenge of the Sith' is Darth Vader's "first" canonical appearance in the saga. But something just doesn't fit. The suit doesn't hold true to the original 1977 design, and can we talk about how awkward that scream was?! Vader wouldn't scream "No!", he'd force-choke the emperor and set the damn place on fire.

3. .....was that a pun?Vader cameo, check. Force-choking, check. Joking? While the epic entrance for the dark lord in 'Rogue One' was a wonder to behold, hearing him make a pun about choking Orson Krennic to the ground just seems...uncharacteristic. Don't get me wrong though, that final scene was truly incredible.

Dear High School Friend Group,

My sweet angels, where would I be without you guys. We all grew up together because we either met in middle school or high school and watched each other grow up and get "old." We got to go to prom together and then graduate together. Then watched each other as we continued our lives in college, joining sororities and meeting people who will impact our lives forever. It all has happened so fast.

Oh college, we can’t live with you, but we can’t live without you. It’s a love/hate relationship, really. College is an experience that no one can ever prepare you for, and maybe that’s a good thing. You never really expect any of the things that college encompasses until you are there. College is fun, but don’t have too much fun. C’s get degrees, but they don’t get you into graduate school.

Blair Waldorf

The "Gossip Girl" series may be over, but Blair Waldorf's iconic character lives in our hearts forever. Blair was the queen of the Upper East Side, and a character you either loved or hated. She taught us everything we needed to know about life, love and of course, how to score a Chuck Bass. So the next time you feel a bit lost and are in need of guidance, look no further than to the Queen B herself.

As I spend my Sunday avoiding my homework and other adult responsibilities, I realized that I've watched this series over and over about a million times. Sadly, there isn't a Blair quote I don't know, so I came up with a list of a few favorites. You know you love her...xoxo

College is an endless cycle of crappy, sleepless nights, tedious, boring lectures, and hours of never-ending piles of homework.

Summer: a time (usually) free from school work and a time to relax with your friends and family. Maybe you go on a vacation or maybe you work all summer, but the time off really does help. When you're in college you become super close with so many people it's hard to think that you won't see many of them for three months. But, then you get that text saying, "Hey, clear your schedule next weekend, I'm coming up" and you begin to flip out. Here are the emotions you go through as your best friend makes her trip to your house.
