A UK man has confessed to dressing up like Darth Vader and attacking two men who founded a church based on Jedi teachings. He beat them with a crutch, but to be fair, they were asking for it: The victims had been playing with light sabers and filming themselves while doing so.
Hughes admitted two charges of common assault.
The court heard he has a "chronic alcohol problem" and had drunk the best part of a 10 litre box of wine.
Mrs Lloyd said: "He was wearing a black bin bag and a cape and had a metal crutch in his hand." Mrs Lloyd said he was shouting "Darth Vader".
Hat Tip: Many many thanks, You're A Mean Drunk R2D2!
Now really, is the darkside that bad? He just did what all of us want to do to nerds as big as that to teach them a lesson. :)
And a 10 litre BOX of wine? My hero!

Darth Vader needs some AA.
Alchoholism would explain all his aggression, though, always choking his subordinates for their failure, or lack of faith.

Shouldn't he have shouted "I'm your father!"?

"Daddy, don't beat me!"
There is a large part of me that wants to cheer this guy on.

this is about the funniest crime story I've ever heard. But how did Darth gain entry to their Mom's basement? Cuz I assume that's where they were.

I had to send this to a friend of mine in England. I laughed so hard I cried. The judge had a great sense of humor.

Did he really think a black trash bag on his head made him look like Darth Vader? And the crutch, I suppose that was his super deadly ray gun.

He can't be arrested for that. We have freedom of religion in this country. This was just a Jedi baptism.

This are not the nerds you are looking for!

This is amusing. But they were asking for it. After all, as a Jedi you should always be on guard against the dark side! I guess this wasn't exactly the dark side they were thinking of...
