Stop me if you've heard this one: a Sith Lord walks into a convenience store with a silver blaster - and you'll never guess what happens next!

It was an epic battle, but not quite like what ended up on film in The Return of the Jedi.

Florida police are reporting that a guy in a Darth Vader costume walked into a convenience store last weekend with a silver handgun blaster and attempted to rob the place. The clerk, untrained in the ways of the Jedi, struggled in hand-to-hand combat with the Sith Lord impostor, ultimately pelting him with a jar of blue cheese salad dressing. Witnesses did get to see the man's face before he fled and he was later arrested and charged him with robbery and possession of a handgun blaster by a felon Sith Lord. No word on whether he fled in a Tie Fighter. No word on any 'droid or stormtrooper accomplices.
