It sounds like a good idea, at first: programming your GPS with the Sith Lord’s dulcet tones so he can tell you when to turn and when to stop. But how long before all that heavy breathing gets insufferable?

We might’ve been a little hard on ol’ Darthy recently, but we’ve still got a lot of love for the former Anakin Skywalker.
