Man dressed as Darth Vader spared jail for attack on founder of Jedi church

HOLYHEAD, Wales - A man who dressed up as Darth Vader, wearing a garbage bag for a cape, and assaulted the founders of a group calling itself the Jedi church was given a suspended sentence Tuesday.
Arwel Wynne Hughes, 27, attacked Jedi church founder Barney Jones — aka Master Jonba Hehol — with a metal crutch, hitting him on the head, prosecutors told Holyhead Magistrates’ Court.
He also whacked Jones’ 18-year-old cousin, Michael Jones — known as Master Mormi Hehol — bruising his thigh in the March 25 incident, prosecutors said.
The two cousins and Barney Jones’ brother, Daniel, set up the Church of Jediism, Anglesey order, last year. Jedi is the faith followed by some of the central characters in the "Star Wars" films.
The group, which claims about 30 members, says on its Web site that it uses "insight and knowledge" from the films as "a guide to living a better and more worthwhile life."
Just thought this was kind of funny. I guess the dark side does not condone
freedom of religion.

This goes to prove the Dark Side is indeed stronger. Thats why I've joined the First United Church of the Sith. Bad teeth and yellow eyes are a small price to pay for the ability to choke annoying people to death with your mind!

The force is neither good nor evil, it is what you choose to do with it that determines if you are good or evil. The light side of the force only permits defensive manoeuvres whilst the dark side allows offensive, however, there is no rule saying that Jedi cannot use the dark side if necessary. So, the yellow eyes and bad teeth were all in vain.

Here is the video. Unfortunately it is not as good as I had hoped. The camera man lowers the camera for a good bit and you can't tell what is going on.

Peace is a lie. There is only passion.
Through passion I gain strength.
Through strength I gain power.
Through power I gain victory.
Through victory my chains are broken.
Code of the Sith.
In interest of fairness. Both side should be represented.
