  • Alfdog, on 10/12/2007, -5/+57@meshman

    Way to take a cool science fiction icon creatively used, then shift it into your pointless political babble.

  • SkippyDoorknob, on 10/12/2007, -0/+9"Midichlorians", not "metachlorians"
  • HunterTV, on 10/12/2007, -1/+9"He's more hot air than man now, bloated and floaty."
  • Djchicken, on 10/12/2007, -2/+9What ever you do, don't fly in a Jar-Jar Binks balloon. That thing would get shot down sooooo fast.
  • InfinitySnatch, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7"I find your lack of altitude disturbing."
  • noisey, on 10/12/2007, -4/+11It uses metachlorians isntead of hot air. Oh wait, they're the same thing.

  • PyroSkank, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4Master Qui-Gon, I've been wondering...what ARE midichlorians?

    I never made it without biting. Go ask Mr. Owl.
  • Sepeteus, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Every time I watch Zardoz I expect Connery to suddenly ask someone: "Would you like to pet my chest hair?"
  • Fracture98, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Holy Zardoz flashback.
  • jaxxon, on 10/12/2007, -3/+4This is great.... A Death Star one would also be pretty bad ass.

  • EbowUK, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!
  • Digg360, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1yep.
  • Digg360, on 10/12/2007, -2/+3The sound of the hot air going in to this balloon will just add to its lifelike qualities.
  • liquidcoooled, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2If you think a balloon in the shape of Darth's mask is bad, think of the poor souls riding on a balloon shaped like Lukes hand....
  • Nateon, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Wow, the title is actually undermining the epicness of a picture for once. This is the coolest thing I've seen all day. I've always been afraid of going up in a hot air balloon, but this just looks too cool.
  • mandalorian, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0That is great. Now he can poop on birds and when they go to complain they see Vader and think otherwise.
  • human01, on 11/27/2008, -0/+0Wow Balloon looks nice with different shape.I want to take ride.

  • twodayslate, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1Balloon, I am your father.
  • meebio, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1Unicron's head would have been more fitting for a balloon.
