No, Seriously, Darth Vader Robbed a Bank Yesterday
Clearly peeved over his disinvitation from Star Wars Celebration V and too humiliated to make the trip to Comic-Con, Darth Vader took his disaffected villain show on the road Thursday by robbing a bank on Long Island. I'm not making this up.
According to the NY Post -- in a report the authors had way too much fun writing (e.g. "Cops found the fallen Jedi's lack of respect for the law disturbing") -- the Dark Lord of the Sith held up a Setauket Chase branch around 11:30 a.m. Except it was kind of a downmarket Darth, rocking a blue cape and camouflage pants while brandishing a semiautomatic handgun. According to authorities, he "kneeled as if speaking to the Emperor and aimed his gun," soon afterward dashing away on foot with an undisclosed amount of cash. Which is good, because George Lucas is going to sue his ass off.
Anyway, this happened. Stay vigilant, people. And your move, Catwoman.

First things first. This is hilarious. Secondly, James, if you want to sound smart, use proper grammar and try mastering the English language first instead of trying to throw around fancy French words. Third, it is Darth Vader, not Dark Vader, so you really aren't doing to well in the "look at me, I am smart" department. Aside from that, ALL CAPS is annoying to look at; your caps lock key is located to the left of your keyboard below tab and above shift. Maybe I am being a jerk today, but all caps, bad grammar and attempting to wow patrons of the internet just bothers me and I had to say something. I hope you have a nice day, and kudos to the bank robber for his/her hilarious heist.
you underestimate the POWER of the darkside... give me your money BITCH! OR I'LL FORCE CHOKE YOU!
Chris,
Man you deserve a pat on the back, encourging a rober what a great and most concern citizen are you. "KUDOS" lol
Oh Vader, how far you've fallen...I'll guess that George's butchering of your past has finally driven you off the edge. So sad to see such a powerful man reduced to robbing banks. So sad.
Seriously though, I'm surprised this hasn't happened before
