Lord Vader in Philadelphia

Lord Vader and about thirty stormtroopers showed up for the opening of the Franklin Institute's Star Wars exhibit this weekend, brandishing pistols and sniper rifles in downtown Philadelphia. Interestingly, Princess Padme and the few rebel pilots in attendance weren't armed, as if only those people who side with the Empire like brandishing fake guns in front of my children.

On a related note, does the Institute really need to denigrate the incredibly successful Mars Rover by pretending to sell it like a used car, claiming it was used for "only" 93 days?
