    Man dressed as Darth Vader attacked Jedis

    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.

    Withn names like Mormi Hehol & Jonba Hehol they were bound to attract some attention. Perhaps he should've beaten them about the head with a long skinny baloon.

    Alcohol was a likely factor behind the assault
    Now there's a surprise.

    Report on SMH says he had "drunk the best part of a 10L box of wine"

    10L- that's one hell of a goon-bag!

    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.

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