Give Thanks You’re Not a Skywalker

As Thanksgiving Day approaches and you shudder to think about what family debate topic will inevitably bubble up as you stuff yourself with mashed potatoes and pie, at least you can feel comforted to know your dad won’t blow up your home planet or chop off your hand.
io9.com takes a look at the worst dysfunctional families in science fiction, with of course the Skywalkers making the list.
