Darth Vader anyone?

A DRUNK man wearing a bin-liner and a cape attacked the founder of a Jedi church while shouting "Darth Vader", a court has heard.

Arwel Wynne Hughes, a 27-year-old from Anglesey in England’s west, admitted to committing two counts of common assault after drunkenly attacking two men with a metal crutch, the BBC reported.

The court was told that Jedi church founder and Star Wars fan Barney Jones and his cousin Michael were filming themselves playing with light sabres in a backyard before Hughes jumped over a garden wall.

Hughes had consumed more than half of a 10 litre cask of wine before the attack, the court heard.

The court was told Hughes did not remember the attack until he read about it later in a newspaper, and where the crutch had come from was still a mystery to him.

Prosecutor Nia Lloyd told the court that Hughes was laughing as he was striking the cousins.

“He was wearing a black bin bag and a cape and had a metal crutch in his hand,” Ms Lloyd said.

She said Hughes hit the church founder in the head and the second man in the thigh.

The men suffered minor injuries.

Hughes’ lawyer Frances Jones said alcohol was “ruining” his client’s life.

Hughes will next face court on May 13.

Fruitcake anyone?

That is so freaky and weird. Only because, in 1985, Marc Almond of Soft Cell was arrested and detained for doing EXACTLY THE SAME THING - only he was brandishing a whip as well, the old perve.
