The Dark Side prevails? Darth Vader holds up Long Island bank
By Cassie Spodak, CNN

New York (CNN) -- Long Island may be far from the Death Star, but that didn't stop Darth Vader from paying a less-than-friendly visit to a bank in East Setauket, New York.

Or at least he looked like Darth Vader, except for the camouflage pants.

The costumed man, with a mask and cape, entered a Chase bank Thursday morning and demanded cash. Although he didn't have a lightsaber, his gun was more than enough to persuade the teller to hand over the money.

The caped criminal then fled east through the bank's parking lot.

Suffolk County police said they are searching for the man, described as around 6 feet tall.

    i would have expected this sort of thing from Darth Vader, but if it were me, i would have worn a Dark Helmet mask to interject a little levity into the situation....

    yes but he has a large dark helmet and a large pith hat to compensate.....he probably drives a Hummer as well...

    The only part of the uniform that was out of place were his camouflage pants. And that handgun — no light saber. :shock: WTF
