Foshoryuken said: 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. (LMFAO!)
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. Taking funny nerd incidents to a whole new level of hilarity. *EDIT* Here is the video and update. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/wales/north_west/7398202.stm |
Sure he was drunk, or was he just bored.
