Darth Vader sends a "message of love and admiration" to one of the biggest bad boys of big oil, Exxon CEO Darren Woods. The message is delivered by Hyperobject Industries, Adam McKay's production company. That's the same Adam McKay of Don't Look Up. has Darth recounting Exxon's history of hiding data and sowing doubt about climate change, and he singles out Woods for "cashing checks and murdering life 24/7."

Our producer Sam Alcoff filed this report.

SAM ALCOFF: On Saturday, thousands of protesters took to the streets of downtown Manhattan for what was described as an action to "Occupy Wall Street." Inspired by the popular uprisings of the Arab Spring and the European anti-austerity movements, Adbusters, a Vancouver-based culture-jamming magazine, put out a call for Saturday's protest on Wall Street in July. The goals were various, from limiting corporate contributions to political campaigns, to auditing the Federal Reserve, to challenging all of global capitalism.
