Ha!! I was definitely on the Vader train, myself (though I wish I'd thought of the Who connection also - TEC is one of my favorite Ninth Doctor episodes.) The exaggerated breathing was just begging to be traced back to where it belongs Star Wars. :)

Describing this as a 'traffic accident' is actually pretty appropriate! Since this is a morning class, a lot of students will normally sleep through the movies, but this one kept getting so bad and so insane that nobody could sleep. We just stared in shock and horror, basically.
