Francis was so inspired, he sought to make Star Wars real, and took the personality of Darth Vader. He and McCheese were good friends, until Francis took things too seriously and had actually challenged him to a duel on MustaFlabe, where following the duel, Francis was cut in half and saved by Pope Maculon, or Pope Palpatine.
