				If you've ever wanted to see <em>Star Wars</em> mashed up with <em>300</em>, then this clip from the short-lived 1978 show <em>Quark </em>may make you happy. Or maybe not. The Great Gorgon, a transparent Darth Vader rip-off, comes in his big orange Death Star to conquer the planet of Spartans... who surrender. I remember loving <em>Quark </em>when I was a kid, but it doesn't hold up that well now. 				<a href="http://io9.com/357249/darth-vader-vs-the-spartans" title="Click here to read more about Darth Vader Vs.
