AND FINALLY

The Galactic Empire must’ve been caught up in the financial crisis and fallen on hard times. Darth Vader, trying to raise funds for a new Death Star perhaps, was caught on surveillance camera robbing a bank in New Your State.

Complete with mask, cape and er gun (doh, forgotten to charge the lightsabre again!), he burst into the bank and announced his intentions.

Although some customers were sniggering in disbelief, one would-be jedi hero tried to tackle the dark Lord of the Sith, but he was quickly subdued and can be seen cowering in the background of the CCTV tape, presumably quietly choking and rasping for air in a British accent.

Vader then appeared at the counter and presumably ordered the teller to hand over the lucre or feel his wrath.

Cops will surely be trying to harness the full power of the force in attempts to trace him before he strikes (back) again.
