Gone To The Dark Side

In a story that illustrates exactly what going to the Dark Side of the force really means (and that's not just breathing through a snorkel and saying 'The Force is strong with this one') .....
 
Darth Vader - Jedi Gone To The Dark Side
Gone To The Dark Side

... a man (or woman), dressed as Darth Vader held up the State Employees Credit Union in Pineville in North Carolina USA, this was in March 2015

Strangely these Jedi gone bad stories are quite rare, and in fact there does seem to be a correlation between people in costume often acting in accordance with the attributes of characters they are dressed as .... or the complete opposite.

I just have a terrible soft spot for them, so they get immortalised in this blog whenever I come across them.
