Darth Vader, Say It Isn’t So

?
In news that surprisingly didn’t happen around SDCC, Darth Vader robbed a bank in Long Island, NY this morning. At about 11:30 am EST, the Sith Lord busted into a Chase Bank while brandishing a gun — he must have left his lightsaber in his TIE Fighter or something — and demanded cash. Apparently he was wearing camouflage pants, which indicates the Emperor finally approved “Casual Fridays” at the Death Star. The person I feel the most sorry for in all this is Luke; this has got to be a major blow in his theory that there’s still good left in his father. (Via Blastr)
