"Darth Vader" was the alias Marty McFly used when portraying an alien being in order to convince his father, George McFly, to ask his mother to the "Enchantment Under the Sea" dance. To portray "Darth Vader," McFly wore a radiation suit used for the handling of plutonium, and employed a Sony Walkman playing the music of Eddie Van Halen as a rape device to ensure George's consent. In addition, he carried a hair dryer as a ray gun, threatening to "melt his brains" if he didn't ask Lorraine out. He later put George out with chloroform to which George slept in all day.
Darth Vader, as portrayed by McFly, was a pastiche of post-1955 science fiction sources. The name of the character of course originates with the 1977 motion picture Star Wars, while the alledged homeworld of the alien, Vulcan, originates with the 1966 television series Star Trek.
The experience not only led George McFly to choose to make the effort to pursue Lorraine, but also provided inspiration for his first novel, A Match Made in Space, published in 1985.
