How @Darth Became The Internet's Most Beloved Red Panda Fun Love
Once upon a time, the mystical @darth started bestowing gifts on us all.

After Rudolph's red nose led the way, Santa Claus and all his elves were very happy! They finally figured out the system that would make them super efficient and would make all the little children around the world very happy. Every delivery was made on time, and every present unwrapped the next morning surrounded by smiles.
Every year went by so smoothly, until one day, Santa noticed something was different. Kids had stopped asking for the more traditional toys — no more train sets or soft dolls. No, kids were asking for Furbies and iTunes gift cards. Video games became more popular than model airplane kits. Cell phones? iPods?
Santa didn't know anything about those gifts. His elves were trained in, like, woodworking skills and painting tiny toys. How could they compete with gadgets made in giant factories? People would rather make an Amazon wishlist than let Santa know directly what they'd want for Christmas. Where's the fun in that? Why create a middleman? Santa didn't get it.
"Well," thought Santa, "if technology is what the kids want, then technology is what I'll have to give them."
The way he saw it, there are 364 days of the year where he was free to search the world from top to bottom, side to side, for the perfect helper.
He wanted to find someone who understood the kids these days. It'd have to be someone who wanted to spread joy to everyone, just like Santa's mission, and who could do it with a smile, just like the elves in the North Pole.
Deep in the forest, all tucked away for a nap, lived a lovely red panda neighborhood. There was a mayor, a constable, and even little shops filled with Christmas cakes and small trinkets for every holiday gift imaginable.
