What Would Yoda Do?
I suppose I shouldn’t be surprised. No sooner had a group of enterprising nerds formed The Jedi Church, then there appeared a second, competing Jedi Church. And I think we all can guess what happened next. For every church, there is a heretic:
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!”
Earlier, when Hughes failed to arrive on time, District Judge Andrew Shaw issued an arrest warrant, adding: “I hope the force will soon be with him.”
Stay tuned for the Jedi Inquisition, wherein all Vaderites will be rounded up and tortured until they admit that Jar Jar was the worst character ever.
I guess it’s up to me to start the Reformed Church of the Sacred Leia in Metallic Bikini. That would totally rock.
