This time, we have a list of all the actors who have appeared (even under makeup or in a blink and you'll miss them cameo) in both a Burton film and a Star Wars movie. Sleepy Hollow is particularly impressive as it features three, count 'em three, Sith Lords. Which prompts the question: Who would win in a fight between Darth Sidious, Darth Maul and Darth Tyrannus? And does anyone care . . ?
