Source: [url]http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/01/05/dark-vador-burger-quick_n_1186237.html[/url] [release]Are you excited about the return of Jar-Jar Binks and pre-pubescent Anakin Skywalker, this time in 3D? Belgian fast food chain Quick is. The company just announced that it will be offering Phantom Menace-themed burgers for a limited time in anticipation of the imminent re-release of Star Wars: Episode I in 3D movie theaters. The promotional burgers, which will be available until the beginning of March, come in three varieties: Jedi, Dark and Dark Vador. The first two look more of less like normal double burgers. The Dark burger, which is associated with Darth Maul, seems to have something like everything bagel seasonings on its bun. And the Jedi burger has some kind of mysterious white topping between the beef patty and the bun. (Eater speculated that it might be marshmallows. Yuck.) Here's the ad for those two: The weirdest of the three by far is the "Dark Vador" burger, which is associated with Darth Vader. It's unclear why its name is misspelled. But even more unclear is the explanation for its pitch-black bun. Yes, we get it: Darth Vader wears all black, just like this burger. What we don't get is how Quick managed to dye wheat flour such a true shade of black. This goes way beyond rye, straight into artificial licorice candy territory. Moreover, who would find such a thing appetizing? See for yourself: In case you cut even more of your high school French classes than the HuffPost Food editors did and are wondering what the French copy in the ad means, the top asks onlookers to decide which side of The Force they want to align themselves with, while the bottom encourages them to eat more than five servings of fruits and vegetables a day.

They did whaaaaaaaat?
Mmmm, I love me some black buns. :quagmire:
Ignoring the fact that everything about this re-release feels like shit, that Yoda burger looks amazing.
the yoda one looks like the only good one the others are meh... also, rereleasing it? Talk about MILKING.
That black bun looks terrifying to be honest.
The dark burger looks loads better then the vader one.
The black bun looks like pure mold sculpted into a bun. What's the point of "Dark = Dark Power" in the bottom left corner of each picture?
Are you excited about [B]the return of Jar-Jar Binks[/B] and pre-pubescent Anakin Skywalker, this time[B] in 3D?[/B] Dear god...
Gotta love the shitty unrelevant translation at the bottom left corner. Dark doesn't mean "dark power", it means dark. Also, it doesn't even mean that here, it's just the villain's name that was changed from darth to dark so people wouldn't understand that he's evil or some shit. That blag bread thing looks disgusting. I really don't like quick and this won't make me consider taking anything from them. Also what in the living fuck is Darth fucking Vader doing in a star wars I promo ? In this movie he's still a little annoying kid.

[QUOTE=Andokool12;34072613]The black bun looks like pure mold sculpted into a bun.

Perhaps because I was ~6 when I saw it, but I still like it. I recognize it has no protagonist and Qui-Gon/all the characters were without personality in a literal point of view, but I've never totally seen it that way. It is adequate for me. Star Wars has always been a chunk of my life, but I've never been a fan boy per-say. I did go through this stage in grade 6 however where I knew absolutely everything.
Wow holy fucking shit re-releasing Episode 1 except in 3D this time, hardly more than a decade after its release acting like its some kind of classic movie people haven't been in contact with forever (nevermind all the damn figurines, promos and bullshit from this movie for so long after its release) even though it was pretty much shit, how far is that dick up your ass george lucas

But to be more on topic that bun is just probably dyed, I'm sure it tastes like regular buns. (heh)
i'd eat it
I would honestly buy that.
[QUOTE=Higginz511;34072688]Your avatar seems really fitting.[/QUOTE] Yours too :v:
Reminds me of the SpongeBob episode where there were multi-colored patties [img]http://images.wikia.com/spongebob/images/8/82/PrettyPatties.jpg[/img]
Now I'm not more than a beginner at french, but it seems pretty goddamn clear that it means something along the lines of "Choose your side of the Force."
Jesus you guys are bitter. I would at least try it if I got the chance. No one is forcing you to eat it and I doubt they'd make the bun out of something less healthy than normal buns.

What a bunch of retards. Dark Vador's is Darth Vader's French name.
[QUOTE=POWA KILLERDeux;34072932]What a bunch of retards. Dark Vador's is Darth Vader's French name.[/QUOTE] And that stupid-ass dark instead of darth thing spawned a fuckton of french kids putting "dark" in their usernames as well. At least you can notice them easily :v:

The Phantom Menace is one of the worst movies ever made.
