OMG dude, this inspires many parallels between Putin and Palpatine. In the end, Palpatine dies in a nuclear reactor core. I hope life does not go on to imitate art. Also, wonder who Vader would be.

Defenestration must have been quite common in the USSR, which probably led to the window scene written by Lucas' writers.

He's probably not as crazy as Putin is behind closed doors, but anyone that can spew the type of ridiculous nonsense he does with a straight face is pretty crazy.
