Darth Vader Strikes Bank

Puns and wisecracks aside, this one most people (especially, the sci-fi fans) would love to hear about. A man dressed as Darth Vader robbed a New York bank recently. According to a New York Daily News story, bank customers thought the dark Jedi-costumed robber was joking. The Force-challenged suspect, however, promptly showed them he was serious.

Instead of a light saber, however, the sci-fi-inspired criminal was packing a pistol.

After grabbing an undetermined amount of cash, the Earth-bound felon made good on his escape by running across a nearby parking lot. Most of the witnesses interviewed said they were not aware of the crime, and thought that the suspect was just too early for Halloween.
