Darth Vader vs The Terminator!

The year - no-one quite knows! The reason - the TDE screwed up! The result - all HELL breaks loose!

It's clash of the titans! Star Wars menace, DARTH VADER is coming face-to-face with sci-Fi villain, The Terminator!

Here's the full story:

T-100, aka the Terminator robot, is sent back in time to complete the mission of all missions (more info on that later). The time machine errors and ends up sending the T-100 so far back that he ends up spinning thru space a long time ago in a galaxy far far away. Our T-100 fumbles thru a time warp and winds up in a jungle on the planet of Naboo. Again, if you are familiar with the Star Wars franchise you'll have an idea on what the planet Naboo is all about. It was once home to master Jedi Yoda.

Now completely lost and making unexpected and somewhat violent discoveries in the jungles of Naboo, the Terminator ends up becoming a pupil of the world's most famous digital puppet: Sir master Yoda who attempts to teach our T-100 the mysteries of the Force. Our T-100 cannot compute or understand what is this thing called the Force and therefore, another famous robot by the name of C-3PO gives the T-100 a new, much more advanced brain chip. These two machines end up knowing how to "bond" in a brotherly way in one of several comic relief scenes.

The Terminator informs master Yoda that his original mission was to go back to 1939 and assassinate Hitler. However, Yoda and C-3PO have no idea what the hell he is referring to. The time warp voyage ended up screwing up his internal hard drive. So, before I continue, allow me to do a recap. Darth Vader died in episode 6 of the Star Wars franchise also known as Return of the Jedi. Thus, this means that DVT takes place between episodes 3 and 4. Or, between Revenge of the Sith and Star Wars : A New Hope.

In a more populist vernicular, this story occurs BEFORE the appearance of Luke Skywalker and Han Solo. There lies the Star Wars' saga continuity logic. Without giving too much away, I will reveal that our T-100 is reprogrammed to find a way to assassinate Darth Vader. But, will he succeed? I won't reveal WHO wins the battle but I will admit that with today's advances in digital technology, the duel between Darth Vader and Terminator is, arguably, one of the best sci-fi action sequences ever put on film. Or, in this case, transferred to film since the original footage was shot on digital tape. Nevertheless, it rivals any sword fight or light saber duel ever assembled in the past.
