Darius's path to the dark side

One day you are playing jungle, and your top laner teleports back to base for an unknown reason. Being the great person that you are, you decide to steal his farm while hes gone; after all, there is no enemy top laner present. All is well until you hear his voice within the fog of war, which says, "If only you knew the power of the dark side". Confusion turns to pure terror as you see Darth Vader (Darius with a Darth Vader skin) emerge from the fog. Vader force pulls you (Darius's Apprehend) towards him as you let out a bloodcurdling shriek that can be heard from the Death Star itself. Once Vader/Darius has you in his grasp, you watch all but helplessly as Vader leaps into the air with a Dunkmaster Darius-esque vertical, and then strikes you down with one staggering blow. As you stare from your champion's corpse, you helplessly watch your top lane tower be taken in what seems to be a blink of an eye. Only then do you realize that Darius, the Hand of Noxus, has become Vader, the Fist of the Empire.

Myself, along with probably many other LoL players, would LOVE to see a Darth Vader skin in game. I know we have a Chosen Master Yi skin(I'm getting it next month when it is on sale), but I would love to see a couple of actual Star Wars characters implemented in game as skins for champions. A Darth Vader Darius skin is only an example that I thought might fit well together. Other examples I had thought might fit well together are Vader as Kassadin(credit to NA Steelrocker) or a Yoda Fizz skin (Chum the waters might be hard to implement with a Yoda skin, but Yoda's mobility is only paralleled by Fizz). I realize you would have to strike a deal with LucasFilm to implement these skins, but with how commercialized Disney has made Star Wars with the release of their new movie, I don't think this would be an unachievable task. I know that you probably don't want to share the skin's profits with Disney, but with how many Star Wars fans there are out there, I think that these skins sales would still outperform many of your past skins in net profit. For example, I have never played Darius before, or even purchased a skin, but I would quickly unlock Darius and seriously consider making my first purchase on this skin if it were available.

Feedback and other constructive criticism are greatly appreciated! If you have an idea for a skin that would apply well to a champion and I agree with your opinion, I will add it to my post and give credit to you like I have above.

I personally don't like it, but I heard Forsaken Jayce is supposed to be a Sith style skin line.
