Man dressed as Darth Vader attacked Jedis - New Zealand's source for oddstuff - strange, weird & bizarre news on Stuff.co.nz
A man has received a suspended sentence for assaulting the founders of Britain's first Jedi church while dressed as Darth Vader.
Wearing a garbage bag as a cape to complete his Star Wars-themed costume, Arwel Wynne Hughes used a metal crutch to hit Barney Jones, also known as Master Jonba Hehol, on the head, the Associated Press reported.
Mr Hughes, 27, also attacked Jones' cousin Michael Jones, known as Master Mormi Hehol, and wounded him in the thigh, a British court was told.
Alcohol was a likely factor behind the assault, since Hughes claimed he couldn't remember what happened because he had consumed most of 10 litre box of wine before.
The incident was caught on a video camera, which the two Jedi masters had set up to film themselves in a light sabre battle.
"Darth Vader! Jedis!" Hughes yelled as he came on to the scene.
Hughes was given a suspended sentence of two months in jail and a £260 fine.
Jones' Church of Jediism, a philosophy gleaned from the popular Star Wars movies, was set up last year and has about 30 members.

Political correctness is a doctrine, fostered by a delusional, illogical minority, and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end.
2 months in jail? He should've strung up for such a heinous crime!!! Flogging's too good for him!!!
the sith prevails in the end i see?
one thing that has ALWAYS bothered me about starwars though. if they can make spaceships and light sabres, and all that jazz

In New Zealand the final Star Wars movie "Revenge of the Sith" was renamed "Revenge of the bad guys" as no one in New Zealand could say Sith.

"Let me tell you something you already know. The world ain’t all sunshine and rainbows. It’s a very mean and nasty place and I don’t care how tough you are it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it. You, me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life. But it ain’t about how hard ya hit. It’s about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward. How much you can take and keep moving forward. That’s how winning is done! Now if you know what you’re worth then go out and get what you’re worth. But ya gotta be willing to take the hits, and not pointing fingers saying you ain’t where you wanna be because of him, or her, or anybody! Cowards do that and that ain’t you! You’re better than that!" - Rocky Balboa

Careful Burgs. You know how these Tah types are sensitive to criticism and homophobic talk.
