I saw this story on my homepage and I just had to post it. Please note that--as hard as it may be to believe--this is NOT satire!
I also found a slightly altered version of this at Gizmodo, which included this image in true Gizmodo fashion
Quickpost this image to Myspace, Digg, Facebook, and others!HOLYHEAD, Wales, March 28 (UPI) -- A Holyhead, Wales, "Star Wars" fan said he was filming a TV interview in his backyard when a man dressed as Darth Vader jumped his fence and assaulted him.
Barney Jones, 36, known in the Jedi church as Jedi Master Jonba Hehol, said a man wearing a black garbage bag and a mask resembling the one worn by villain Darth Vader in the "Star Wars" films jumped over the fence into his garden and attacked him with a metal crutch, The Telegraph reported Friday.
Jones, who founded the first-ever British Jedi Church as a tribute to the popular movie franchise, said the masked assailant also struck the camera crew and a hairdresser.
"This wasn't a joke. This was serious," he said.
Police said they are investigating the incident.
