Darh Vader lands at #1 on the rather interesting MSN Movies Wonderwall list of "Hollywood's 13 Most Menacing Villians." (Thanks Tom!)
Continuing with another list of sorts, Geek Tyrant displays an infographic highlighting 19 things we may, or may not, have known about Star Wars.
Director Christopher Nolan (Memento, The Dark Knight and the newly released Inception) drew creative inspiration from Star Wars, as many have before. From the MTV.com:
"The demented memory flipbook that is "Memento," the noir-ish freakery of Gotham City in "The Dark Knight," the intricately woven, epically scaled "Inception" ? all this can be traced back to a formative experience director Christopher Nolan had at the cinema in 1977.
Seven years old at the time, Nolan took in a screening of "Star Wars." Nothing was ever the same.
"That completely changed movies for me," he told MTV News. "It changed everything, really."
Nolan had never seen a film that was so, well, intricately woven and epically scaled as George Lucas' space odyssey. "It created a world that lived on in your mind after you saw the film and seemed to have this limitless potential," he said."

Star Wars has been everywhere as far as I can remember (at least in my own head it was). But back in the mid '90s, it was just a little more difficult to see Star Wars being everywhere than it is today.
