You may remember our post right here from back in January about the Jedi Church being planned in the UK by brothers Barney and Daniel Jones. Well, apparently not everyone is happy about it. In this case, a drunken Darth Vader weilding a metal crutch. Barney Jones was in his back garden giving a documentary interview when a man dressed as the Sith Lord hopped over a fence and began assaulting Jones with the metal crutch. He then proceeded to take out his frustration on the camera crew and a hairdresser. Naturally, we are shocked to hear that alcohol was involved. All kidding aside we hope Barney and the others are ok, but dude! What a story!

Hey Jason and Pete. I think we got your unbelievable, unthinkable, unfathomable, inconceivable, implausible and improbable story of the week for the Force-Cast!

Make sure to check out the source article here at Telegraph.co.uk for it's written quite well and pretty funny!



Thanks to Tom D. and Scott C. for the link!


UPDATE: If you remember the rather interesting story from above then you'll want to check out the BBC account of the court proceedings with some new details. Click here.

Thanks to "felastica", Edwyn and Scott for the heads up!


UPDATE #2: BBC News reports that Arwel Wynn Hughes, 27, from Holyhead, Anglesey who had attacked Jedi Church founders Barney and Daniel Jones has been given a sentence of "two months suspended for 12 months, with supervision and residence requirements overseen by the probation service. He was also ordered to pay £100 to each of his two victims and prosecution costs of £60."
