I think there is a certain number of kilowatts that absolves a car of and sins and removes it from the fail list. I nominate 300kw=cannot fail and therefore the mother car is saved.

(I see your point tho)

Dressing up as Darth Vader=fail!!

I take it you haven't heard about the next Star Wars Trilogy then...

I'm not joking, just FYI.

Nothing of the sort, Lucas himself said, he made the sand box, others play in it. And I think you'll find that games, cartoons, books are all based in-between episodes I-VI.

He has no plans to make or allow Episodes VII-IX to be made.
So, no third trilogy. There is no story after Return of the Jedi and that's what you were alluding to.

Well Lucas has written at least the story (not necessarily scripts) for Episodes VII-IX, so they do exist. He'll just never make them, since, well really, they'd suck.

See this quite a bit in small workplaces based in the city, they just park according to who leaves work first in the afternoon (that way they can fit more cars in the carpark)
