Perhaps that line wasn’t so much about Sith — who, after all, have the disadvantage of being fictional — but about English-language online geek humourists.
Consider: in late 2006 we had Ze Frank, clearly a Master of his craft, and xkcd was underway but not really in its stride.
Now, in late 2006, Ze has moved on to a higher plane of existence (or ‘Los Angeles’ as we like to call it), and xkcd has risen to become the undisputed honesty mirror of the new geek republic.
So… who is the new apprentice?
Look, if you are going to be fussy over benches wearing toga - I will point out that it is 2007.
