'Force Fails Star Wars Actor; Car Breaks Down'
The '06 version of the 'Cannonball Run' (Ever seen that classic
flick?)
It'd be a bad trip if they were filming some Reality-show about this
event
The Ep.3 promo pic of a pissed off lookin' Vader (Hayden) w/ hood
and yellow eye on Mustafar fits the situation perfectly

SYRACUSE, N.Y. -- The Force was of no use when "Darth Vader's"
transport broke down in Syracuse, N.Y.
Hayden Christensen was taking part in a cross-country driving tour
when his 1999 Ferrari broke down Saturday evening.
The 25-year-old actor who played the young Darth Vader in the last
two "Star Wars" films called for a tow truck
Towing service owner Steve Burdick showed up in his flatbed truck
but had no idea he was dealing with a famous actor.
Burdick took Christensen and his $125,000 car to Toronto, where the
actor grew up. During the eight-hour trip, Burdick said he talked
about being a born-again Christian and played a cassette by a
Christian motivational speaker.
Burdick said he didn't find out who Christensen was until they hit
the Canadian border, where people asked for his autograph
