'Darth Vader' spared jail in church attack

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.

This is not news worthy!!!

"What do you mean they blew up the Death Star?"

"What the hell is an aluminum falcon?"

The fact that it has made the news renders your opinion as meaningless.

I guess he must have used jedi mind tricks on the judge to avoid jail time.

I think they have taken their love for Star Wars to an unhealthy place. Where's the emporer when you need him.

I couldn't help but notice the town--Holyhead. Should be holy h*ll.

It is no different from any other made up beliefs. 1000 years form now Vader could be Satan and Luke, Jesus. Even complete with mystical garbage that the "son" performs.

This just goes to show that all things should be taken in moderation. Alcohol and what ever form of entertainment you choose. The only thing you can never get enough of is laughter.

Amazing how Star Wars fans have created this fantasy world like Star Trek fans did in the 70's.

This isn't the verdict you're looking for,, move along.........

If nothing else, this may be the most welcome news story I've seen in a while. Anybody watch Reno 911 when they deal with the local Dungeons and Dragons club????

Jedi stupid , Darth Vader funny

[Nerf Herder]

This has to be one of the most ridiculous news stories of the week. I'm a huge Star Wars fan. And as I read about this case, I almost died laughing.
Did the "victims" know this guy prior to the incident?
Can you imagine what they were thinking when this guy just shows up, drunk off his keyster, dressed as the Dark Lord of the Sith and wielding a crutch? I'd love to watch the tape they had of the whole thing. How many other fanboys in the world have actually had to REALLY battle Darth Vader with their lives at stake?
The whole thing is nuts. And just think. At least these Jedi got reparations for what this Sith did to them, although $195 isn't much. The Jedi from Episode 3 didn't fair as well...
Power, supremacy, wine. Darn those Sith. They're always drunk on something

[Right-Wing Revolutionist]

Let's just be thankful that this star wars geek didn't build a death star to blow us all up!

[tHIS IS WHATS UP]

Funniest story ever! I told Dark Vader to put down the Jack Daniel's handle, but man that guy never listens:)

[Professor Chaos]

So TWO Jedi Masters couldn't take on a DRUNKEN Darth Vader? That IMHO greatly tarnishes the street cred of their church.

(LMAO)
