Reno a Star Wars Hotbed?

The other DrC and I just got back from a quick visit to Reno, NV, to celebrate our 36th wedding anniversary. While there we saw two different autos with NV vanity plates that celebrate the dark side of the Force from Star Wars. One was SITHLRD, an obvious reference to "Sith Lord" and the other was ANAKIN2, a clear reference to Darth Vader's given name as a young man. At least one of these cars was the same shiny black as ol' Darth's helmet.

Finding exponents of the dark side of the Force in adult-content Nevada seems stereotypical. I would have wished for something less predictable and mundane.
