The Cutest Sith Lord in the Galaxy

If you've seen any of the Star Wars films, you know that a Dark Lord of the Sith is something of an imposing figure. You have your Darth Maul...
There's the Emperor, Darth Sidious, with a face even a mother couldn't love...
And, of course, Darth Vader...
Pretty intimidating, right? I mean, one of these guys walks into the room and you just know someone's getting electrocuted or lightsabered in half. Maybe some poor soul will get lucky and just get Force choked in midair.

But who would expect a cute little girl to go through some extensive Jedi training, and then turn to the Dark Side? Watch the clip...


This was taken at Disneyland in California where they have a Jedi Academy live show. From what I understand, the way it's supposed to happen is they take some volunteer kids from the audience, show them some moves with a lightsaber, and then Darth Vader comes out to tempt them to join the Dark Side. At that point, the kid is supposed to fall back on their vast training that they've just received and have a duel with Vader right there on stage. This little girl chose to turn to the Dark Side. She even knelt before Vader. That's some hardcore allegiance.

I guess she couldn't be called a Dark Lord of the Sith. Would Dark Lady of the Sith work? But imagine her showing up to do the Emperor's bidding. You don't expect a cute little girl like that to run you through with a lightsaber, right? You'd never see it coming. But I'm not sure that Darth Adorable has a very threatening ring to it. I'm sure the name is a work in progress.
