Day 13.1
There's lots that can be said about Vader's robotic arm. Except the big problem is that a lot of it is non-movie canon, which throws certain geeks into fits of Mountain Dew-frothing rage. (We know because a good many of us fall into that category.) So maybe we shouldn't mention anything about the stuff that happens to Anakin Skywalker in Clone Wars or those "other" Star Wars movies. Regardless, Vader’s passion for bowling has often gone unnoticed. Having the ability to move objects with the force gives a decisive advantage especially in a 7-10 split. Vader, however, chooses to rely on pure strength (however mechanical) to gain an advantage over his opponents.
During the annual intergalactic bowling tournament held on Tatooine (ABY12) (Authors Note: This was a magnificent event including Rancor races, pin the tail on the Wookie, and everyone’s favorite, Sarlac pit diving) the council of inter-space sports tournaments finally submitted to numerous complaints of Vader’s use of his robotic arm. Lord Vader’s argument and formal protest concerning the fact that he is right handed and is simply not at fault that his right arm had been lopped off requiring a robotic replacement, should have no bearing on his ability to bowl, especially when you consider that two of the competitors were in fact all robotic, being classified as “droids”.
Finding a reasonable solution, the council opted to allow Vader to bowl, however at a slight disadvantage. He was to remove 1/16 of the balls weight. In a fit of rage, Vader swung his lightsaber, removing an exact, circular chunk from his ball.
