[QUOTE]A lot of robbers use force. This one used the Force.
A bandit decked out in a [URL="http://www.nydailynews.com/topics/Darth+Vader"]Darth Vader[/URL] costume strolled into a [URL="http://www.nydailynews.com/topics/Long+Island"]Long Island[/URL] bank yesterday - and walked out with a wad of cash.
The villain looked ready for Halloween, wearing the "[URL="http://www.nydailynews.com/topics/Star+Wars"]Star Wars[/URL]" scoundrel's signature mask and sweeping black cape.
He lost some authenticity points for a pair of camouflage pants.
The get-up struck one customer as so funny that he started joshing with the [URL="http://www.nydailynews.com/topics/Darth+Robber"]Darth Robber[/URL] after he strode into the Chase bank in [URL="http://www.nydailynews.com/topics/Setauket"]Setauket[/URL].
"The customer thought it might have been a joke, and not a serious attempt at a robbery," said [URL="http://www.nydailynews.com/topics/Suffolk+County+Police+Department"]Suffolk County police[/URL] [URL="http://www.nydailynews.com/topics/William+Lamb"]Detective Sgt. William Lamb[/URL].
But Darth wasn't kidding - and he wasn't going to be stopped by a non-Jedi Knight.
He won a "shoving match" against the incredulous customer before using his piece to order him to the floor, Lamb said.
And his weapon was no joke. He was carrying a pistol instead of a lightsaber.
Cops released a surveillance camera image yesterday showing Darth at the teller counter, loading bills into a bag, while the customer cowers on the floor.
The fake Darth made a quick-footed getaway, and the bank was still checking its drawers late yesterday to figure out how large his take was, Lamb said.
It was the second recent off-the-wall bank robbery. On Wednesday, [URL="http://www.nydailynews.com/topics/New+York+City+Police+Department"]NYPD[/URL] cops arrested a man dubbed the "Bouquet Bandit," saying he brought flowers and potted plants into banks he robbed.

Vader shouldn't have to use a gun
The force is strong with this one.

Yea but he's a fraud. Look at the pants!
He's obviously stealing money to build a death star.
Meh, I dunno guys this is cool and shit, but this ain't shit compared to the guy who robbed a bank with a small potted plant :v:

x1 agree
these headlines just get better and better, the media must be jizzing their pants
oh my god this is great
I guess funding for the Deathstar got low.
He needs the money for plastic surgery, don't be rude guys.
Looks like The Empire is suffering under the recession too...
Lord Vaders evil knows no boundaries.

Next he'll probably steal candy from kids.
We're all fucked.

Just bought the original trilogy on DVD a few hours ago. The 'Limited Editon' ones, which have the original theatrical release versions as well as the 1997 'Special Edition' rereleased ones. £5 each.
Also got Apocalypse Now Redux for £5 - which Harrison Ford is also in, coincidentally.
Damn, thats badass. It's reminds me of what me and a couple of friends are planning to do if a Google Maps car comes to Iceland: We'll all dress up like Stormtroopers except one will be Darth Vader and we'll march after the car.
