Andrew's STAR WARS Comment

[LadyLavinia]

From "This Boy Is Our Last Hope" by Sophia van Gameren:

"Although Andrew recognizes that he and Darth Vadar share similarities - "˜I'm like Vadar in the last five minutes of Jedi' (BtVS, season seven) "“ their redemptive journeys differ greatly."

What did Whedon mean by allowing Andrew to say those words?

Who knows what Joss is thinking, LOL!?! I can only guess that Andrew means that he once walked on the dark side, but has since turned around and gone back to the good side. Iirc, Darth Vader joined his son and daughter in celebrating the Rebel victory over the Empire in Return of the Jedi.

Well, it may have just been for comedic value. Nerdy references are always funny.

That's the way I always took it.

I think it was there because Andrew liked to aggrandise his role in events...

I think it's a combination of most if not all of the above; I don't think it carries any kind of super-significance.

Well, I'm sure it was partly for the comedy effect, and partly because Andrew related most to fictional characters.

I loved the van horn playing the Star Wars theme tune!

Andrew often used inappropriate comments from old movies/tv that nobody ever understood. I always just took it as something that was swirling around in his braing, but did not make any sense to us!

And also, it could just be the eternal mystery that is Joss Whedon.
