The dark side never looked so freaking adorable.

Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg continues to use his paternity leave to explore new frontiers in cuteness. After posting pictures of his dog, his intellectual new baby, and himself changing diapers, Zuckerberg has shown he will stop at nothing to dazzle the Internet with how adorable his life has been away from Facebook HQ.

This time it's a picture of his pup Beast -- an improbable goofy mop of a dog -- posing as a Sith with a Jedi cowl and red lightsaber. (Though we must note, for nerd cred, that not all Dark Side knights with red lightsabers self-identify as Sith).

While conversion to the dark side can test a knight's endurance, Beast, it seems, was easily persuaded.

"It only took two chicken treats to convince him to let us put this robe on him," Zuckerberg revealed.
