    And no, it's not the muslims this time....!
    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."

    Does the Jedi church wear any religious garb, or is it just the normal clothes?

    It says he assaulted him with a metal crutch; maybe it should have read 'mental'. :o

    'He then laughed and hit Michael Jones in the thigh, causing bruising.'
