Darth Vader Robs Long Island Bank
Apparently the destruction of the second Death Star has stretched the Galactic Empire's coffers so thin that Lord Vader himself is robbing banks. From the article: "Impotent Rebel Alliance security forces tell Newsday (paywall) that Vader marched into a Chase bank in Setauket around 11:30 a.m. today. Brandishing a completely unnecessary handgun — as he had the power to choke the oxygen out every teller's throat — the fallen Jedi demanded cash."
Hokey religions and ancient weapons are no match for a good blaster at your side, kid......
I want peace on earth and goodwill toward man.
We are the United States Government! We don't do that sort of thing.

But I think playing the Imperial March on a portable speaker while he walked in drew a bit too much attention.
One that actually walked into the bank, one that did the voice demanding the money, and one that will go to jail for showing his face for a few seconds.
There's a spot in User Info for World of Warcraft account names? Really?
He'd have stopped the bullets with his gloved hand and then used the Force to disarm the shooter.
At the bank they did not know the power of the Dark Side...

Calling someone a "hater" only means you can not rationally rebut their argument.
Just go to the next convention, and look for the guy who is no longer living in his mother's basement.
Couldn't Cheney have just gone on a lecture tour like everyone else?
"I find the lack of cash in this paper bag... disturbing."
"If this is a Citibank branch, where is your supervisor?"
Darth Vader robbing a bank? Far more cool than the entirety of the prequels.

I want that ship, not excuses. Now get me a low percentage loan."--- "When I left you I was but an accountant. Now I am the bank manager."
Care killed the cat, but satisfaction brought it back.
That's no Bank;
It's a credit union.
He has altered the deal, pray he doesn't alter it any further!

i'm pretty sure luke wears camo pants on endor, and that's after he's become a jedi. I apologise for the mandatory fanboy pedantry.

How is robbing a bank amusing or entertainment? Just because the guy was in a costume that nerds might think is cool? Uhmm... I don't think so.
Is that you Ned Flanders?
"What do you have an ATM in that chest LiteBrite of yours?"
If the only way you can accept an assertion is by faith, then you are conceding that it can't be taken on its own merits
... his pin number is 1 2 3 4 5.
Does having a witty signature really indicate normality?
No. No!! That's not true. That's impossible!
Take off every Sig. For great justice.
walking up to the teller, I wonder if the teller thought, "I have a bad feeling about this"

Luke.... I am your robber.

Poor David Prouse, rock bottom indeed. Kinda cool he still fits in the suit.
My other sig is extremely clever...

Hokey religions?? Check this out. (This apparently comes courtesy of the Icelandic Atheist Society).
... the shoe polish he uses to keep his helmet shiny costs him an arm and a leg!
Or was that an arm and two legs?

It would've been more impressive if this was pulled off with a lightsaber. Another robber hit convenience stores with a bat'leth, after all:
