Darth Vader’s 2024 Official Halloween Portrait


Okay, Humans, I appreciate the Witch’s hat, and the fallen leaves are the correct autumnal color, which is a plus.

But the lighting is a bit too bright and not nearly spooky enough. I trust you’ll fix that in post-production.
You better fix the lighting in post.

Also, where is my pumpkin?!

Again, Human Mommy, you have missed your narrow bed-making window.

Feel free to check in after I awaken from my mid- to late morning marathon snooze.
—Luna
I’m trying not to feel insulted but it’s a bit tricky…

…when you appear to prefer this mechanism over your capable, motivated Cats for your paper shredding needs.
—Luna
It is a typical Sunday of sunning myself…

…and trying to calculate my dinner’s ETA.

When you are a Lion King, it is essential to have a proper, royal balcony…

…from which to surveil your domain.
—Finnegan
Oh, wonderful Sun!

We’ll sure miss you when the cold weather rolls in.
—Sunny, Xena, and Stella
I’ve got the power, the flower power.
Know what I don’t have?

Opposable thumbs, so please do your job, Human Mommy, and hook your favorite Cat Plant up with some grub.

The leaves are turning, the air is getting nippy, and decorative pumpkins are popping up everywhere.
Yet you Humans seem to have made no preparations for my Official Halloween Portrait.

Explain yourselves.
—Darth Vader
Feeling blue due to the change in the seasons…

…and the fact that some of your best Birdie friends have departed on their annual migration?

Find a nice, sunny microclimate, like the one that exists beneath the lime tree.
