Kuala Lumpur - Women factory workers were shocked when a man in a full Darth Vader costume paraded menacingly in front of them and then flashed his genitals, Malaysian media reported on Thursday.
The women were waiting for their bus after work in Seremban south of the capital on Tuesday when the man got out of his car and strutted in front of them in the costume of the evil character from the Hollywood blockbuster Star Wars.
Suddenly, he flung back his outfit to reveal his genitals. When some of the women screamed, he jumped into his car and sped off.
"At first, I thought he was a die-hard Star Wars fan trying to impress us with his costume. But we were shocked when he showed us his private parts," one of the women, identified only as Priscilla, told The Star.
"Next time it will not be Revenge of the Sith but revenge on a sick man if we catch him doing his act again," she added.
Meanwhile in the US another Darth Vader is also not limiting his evil ways to a galaxy far, far away.
A thief bearing a striking resemblance to the character held up a cinema in Springfield in the US state of Illinois and made off with its take from the sixth and final film in the science-fiction series, the E!Online entertainment news website reported on Wednesday.
The robber reportedly forced his way into the box office, pushed aside a ticket attendant and grabbed the cash straight out of the till before running off.
E!Online also reported that a man dressed in a Darth Vader mask held up a pizza delivery man on Sunday night in Kissimmee, Florida.
The masked robber even used a stun gun to zap the delivery man when he refused to hand over the cash.
