A Belgian/French fast food chain is marking the upcoming 3D release of Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace with a hamburger bun tribute to the villain Darth Vader.

Quick's "Dark Vador" burger comes on a black hamburger bun. The burger, named for the French translation of Darth Vader, will be available from Jan. 31 until March 1.

A Jedi burger, offered on a non-dyed bun, will be available until March 5.

The two hamburgers are shown side-by-side in a Quick marketing image telling customers to "choose your side of the Force."

The Star Wars movie saga centres on the Force, a power that can be used for good or for evil. Those who opt to use it for evil purposes are said to have "turned to the Dark Side."

A third themed burger, with a red-tinted bun intended to evoke Darth Maul of The Phantom Menace, chronologically the first movie in the Star Wars saga, will also be available until March 1.

Would you eat the "Dark Vador" burger? Why or why not? Which other movie character do you think should be honoured with its own bun? Take our survey and let us know in the comments.
