I used to know this girl who had a fetish for Darth Vader. Actually, over the years, I have known lots of girls with fetishes; Chris would admit to the same. We’ve been lucky, I guess. But back to the ultimate Sith Lord. When David Prowse died a couple of weeks ago, he who ‘played’ Darth in the original Star Wars movies (James Earl Jones ‘voiced’ the character as Prowse had a heavy British accent George Lucas just wasn’t going to go with), I was instantly reminded of this lady with the Darth fetish from a year ago and came to consider…well, there’s no way she’s the only one. Check-in with cosplayers at comic conventions (way back in the day when we used to have comic conventions), look across any number of porn parody offerings, scroll across a bunch of sites, and you realize how many people ‘have a thing’ for certain fantasy/horror/sci-fi characters that go beyond just dressing-up in an “I GROK SPOCK” t-shirt or have basement-bound collections of comic collectibles. Yes, lots of this stuff fuels sexual fantasies, dress-up, role-play and out and out kinks. Which is what it certainly should and is perfectly healthy for us red-blooded dumb apes to pursue. But, Darth Vader? A big old, head-to-toe big-sized baddie like him? Can’t you just feel the fetish potential in a guy who breathes like that, wouldn’t even have to touch you to get your clit quivering, and at the appropriate moment would know when to paraphrase his famous “Luke…I am your father,” line a well-placed, deeply uttered “Who’s your daddy? Who’s your daddy?” Prowse was offered the role of either Vader or Chewbacca (and it’s interesting to note that George Lucas wanted Prowse to audition because he remembered seeing the 6-foot, 6-inch actor in “A Clockwork Orange.” Talk about a naughty movie!). Still, he took the villain role, as he said because people tend to remember the villain. And we do certainly remember Darth Vader and the man who played him. I know one girl who remembered him very well, indeed, over and over in fact…
