Darth Vader vs Shaolin Monks Part II: The revenge of the monks.


In part 1 the monks were chased by our great father Darth Vader up the mountain and all the way to the gate of the Shaolin temple. 

There, despite the heroic defence lead by Shaolin's 2 great masters, sifu Xiangyang Liu and sifu Shi DeYang, they were soundly defeated and the Shaolin temple was burnt to the ground.
