Darth Vader's blog. Journal of Darth Vader, Lord of the Sith and Servant to His Supreme Excellency the Emperor Palpatine. From: someone
She smiled and closed her eyes for a moment, asking me to do the same. I closed my eyes. She said, "Anakin, in the quietest night, without sand-crickets or womp-rats, when the temperature is so perfect you can't even feel your blanket, and everything is still, and your mind is quiet...even if you seal out every part of the world you feel -- there is still something there."
"Yes," I whispered.
"That is the Force, Anakin," she said, putting her hand on my heart. "And it will never leave you. It is always there for us. It is a part of being alive."
This is a good read!! -Ghoti (edited to include URL  )

From: Darth Vader
That is when the dreams began, in which I could fix the mechanisms of life as easily as I could machines. At night I saw an elaborate tapestry of iridescent threads that connected all things to all others, backwards and forwards through time forever. To play a song upon its fibres required only the gentlest flexing of my mind, the resonating harmonies describing new patterns in the network of connection that in turn rippled through to the arrangement of real things. The dreams were incredible. Like flying. Like being free.
Wow, he is illuding to string theory here in a way that reminds me of the old Greek myth of the Fates. They were three old ladies who worked with fabric. Time was a fabric in which they weaved the story of everything. When someone was to die their thread was cut. It's so interesting how an ancient and simple myth still proves a great metaphor to the most recent quantom knowledge.

Good lord... what a Lucasfilm connection and what an astute observation, Paradigm!
By doing this, I can now connect the Star Wars universe to another Lucas property, the classic piece o' compuentertainment called LOOM!
THANKS FOR MAKING MY DAY!!!

I'd never connected fabric of time/weaving metaphors with string theory before. I certainly breathes new life into them

The final entry is the best one out of them all I think. The others don't read as if the Dark Lord of the Sith is writing them, and the final one brings out the touches of conflict within him at that time. The others were just... well... quirky.
