Man dresses up like Darth Vader, beats up “Star Wars” nerds
Thursday, April 24th, 2008
A UK man has confessed to dressing up like Darth Vader and attacking two men who founded a church based on Jedi teachings. It claims to have about 30 members locally and “thousands worldwide”.
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”.
