Darth Vader
Star Wars

"Together we can rule the galaxy, as father and son" – way to go with the expectations, Dad. Sure, he's going on about the 'together' stuff, like it'll be a real bonding exercise to overthrow the Emperor, but this is just a classic example of father using the son to achieve what he never could. And what kind of father lops off their son's hand? Therapy of galactic proportions required; put the lightsaber down, get out in the back yard and kick a ball around with your kids – and no using the force!

Fatherly advice: "Give yourself to the Dark Side. It is the only way you can save your friends."
