INGESTING EVIL?

On a fast food menu far far away: A black-bunned Darth Vader burger hits France

Timed for the release of Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace in 3D, French fast food chain Quick has launched a "Dark Vador" burger, complete with a dyed black hamburger bun.

(We assume that, given Star Wars creator George Lucas' swiftness to sue over perceived trademark infringement, the name change was at the advice of Quick lawyers).

For those that have qualms about ingesting evil, Quick has also released a Jedi burger and a Dark burger, based on Darth Maul.

Noticeably absent is a Jabba burger, which we think would go over supremely in the states. Imagine: quadruple patties, guacamole, slimy grilled onions and heavy mayo.

Or perhaps a Leia burger, whose patties would be replaced with cinnamon rolls. Tell us: Would you eat the Dark Vador burger?
