| | The Morning News - Darth Vader Made Me Cry, by Matthew Baldwin |
 | | Darth Vader was on the second or third floorI don’t remember which, but I do recall riding up an escalator, and having this idea that the whole affair would be very intimate, just Darth Vader and me and maybe a couple of other kids, sitting around and chatting amicably about our favorite droids. |
 | | When we arrived at the floor I could see Darth Vader in the distance, on the opposite side of the room, with a long, snaking line of boys between us. |
 | | The usher (Darth Vader has an usherwho knew?) would allow kids to approach Vader, alone or in the company of a parent; they would approach and exchange a few words, or ask for autographs, or simply stand there, awe-struck. |
