June 25, 2014 by Andrew Girdwood 2 Comments

Blood and gore splatter aplenty when an old man isn’t offered a seat on a busy subway. The Force is strong with this fellow. He looks the part, I admit, and I don’t think anyone is surprised when he pulls out a red lightsaber. The question is; why didn’t anyone offer him a seat. Would […]
