Drunken Darth Vader Attacks Jedi Church

Drunken Darth Vader Attacks Jedi Church

So what do you get when you get a guy who’s dressed up like Darth Vader who’s consumed a box of cheap wine and a Jedi Church?  Give up?  A good old fashion ass whooping Star Wars style, that’s what. Well sorta.  And no this isn’t a plot of an upcoming movie, but instead a real life event that took place in the UK.  MSNBC says:

HOLYHEAD, Wales - A man who dressed up as Darth Vader, wearing a garbage bag for a cape, and assaulted the founders of a group calling itself the Jedi church was given a suspended sentence Tuesday.  Arwel Wynne Hughes, 27, attacked Jedi church founder Barney Jones — aka Master Jonba Hehol — with a metal crutch, hitting him on the head, prosecutors told Holyhead Magistrates’ Court.  He also whacked Jones’ 18-year-old cousin, Michael Jones — known as Master Mormi Hehol — bruising his thigh in the March 25 incident, prosecutors said.  The two cousins and Barney Jones’ brother, Daniel, set up the Church of Jediism, Anglesey order, last year. Jedi is the faith followed by some of the central characters in the “Star Wars” films.  The group, which claims about 30 members, says on its Web site that it uses “insight and knowledge” from the films as “a guide to living a better and more worthwhile life.”

I don’t know how this can really be surprising to anyone.  As far as I’m concerned it was just a matter of time before a drunken buffoon dressed as Darth Vader showed up at the church door reeking of cheap wine and looking for a fight.  It was inevitable.  All I want to know is, where was the liquored up version of Luke Skywalker when all this was taking place?  May the wino be with you.
