The founder of a jedi church has been attacked by a man dressed up as Darth Vader. Read the above line again. Let it sink in. Now, let's sprinkle in a few choice details, such as the Darth Vader costume consisted of a black trash bag and that the Sith assailant, rather than using a light saber, used a metal crutch.
Don't believe me? Here it is, straight from the BBC:
A man posing as Darth Vader attacked a Star Wars fan who had founded a Jedi Church, a court has heard.
Arwel Wynne Hughes, 27, from Holyhead, Anglesey, admitted assaulting Barney Jones and cousin Michael with a metal crutch. They suffered minor injuries.
Hughes, who was drunk and dressed in a black bin bag, shouted "Darth Vader!"
The question is: where was Emperor Palpatine when all this went down? I pray someone alerted the police, nay Scotland Yard, that another Sith must be on the loose. After all, there are always two. Has the Queen been informed?
Thanks to my friend Paul for hipping me to the story.
