The Empire Strikes Bank
Jul. 23rd, 2010 07:32 pmA guy wearing a Darth Vader mask held up a bank in New York yesterday and got away with a whopping $440. Check out the guy cowering on the ground behind him:

I'm sure it was scary for the bank employees and customers--there's a reason why I prefer drive-thru ATMs, especially with all of the local bank robberies--but folks can't help but post funny comments:
Anyone who's familiar with Anakin Skywalker's childhood had to have seen this coming. A child slave, single parent home, saving the galaxy at a young age, pod racing, drafted into the Jedi Knights, Obi-Wan as a father figure, a inappropriate relationship with a female senator, horribly scarred while fighting with Obi-Wan. Tatooine's social service policies in regards to young adults needs to be studied by Princess Leia.
I do have to wonder why crooks love to don SW costumes to commit their nefarious deeds. When was the last time you heard about Hobbits or Starfleet crew members knocking off a bank?
