Dude attacks Jedi Church this is real, he’s the guy who jumps over the bushes with a trash bag for a cape and the camera man says “oh here we go infiltration” you have to see the clip inside…
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.
“Darth Vader! Jedis!” Hughes shouted as he approached.
Hughes claimed he couldn’t remember the incident, having drunk the better part of a 2 1/2-gallon (10-liter) box of wine beforehand.
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.
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.
District Judge Andrew Shaw sentenced Hughes to two months in jail but suspended the sentence for one year. He also ordered Hughes to pay $195 to each of his victims and $117 in court costs
In the 2001 United Kingdom census, 390,000 _ 0.7 percent of the population _ listed Jedi as their religion.
All I can say is wow! First thought was what a bunch of geeks, yet then I realized there is a diamond in the rough here, Darth Vader Hughes did something me or my friends might have done if it were discovered a Jedi church was next door.
My favorite part is that he was drinking a box-o-wine. I’ve always been a big supporter of wine in a box, it just makes sense. Do you think he just finished playing “slap bag?” box-o-wine drinkers know what that is fa sho, fa sho. Oh and what’s with 0.7 listing Jedi as their religion, tell me that’s a joke.
