I find it hard to believe this wasn't Kevin Smith:

A man posing as Darth Vader attacked a Star Wars fan, who had founded a Jedi Church, a court has heard.
Arwel Wynne Hughes, 27, from Holyhead, Anglesey, admitted assaulting Barney Jones and cousin Michael with a metal crutch. They suffered minor injuries.
Hughes, who was drunk and dressed in a black bin bag, shouted "Darth Vader!"
Earlier, when Hughes failed to arrive on time, District Judge Andrew Shaw issued an arrest warrant, adding: "I hope the force will soon be with him."

it just gets better and better ...

Hughes admitted two charges of common assault.
The court heard he ... had drunk the best part of a 10 litre box of wine ...
Hughes could not remember the incident and only realised what had happened when he read about it in local newspapers, the court told ...
Defending, Frances Jones said ... he had no idea where he got the crutch from.

also: district judge andrew shaw, you've made my day.

I like that he's "posing" as Darth Vader, not just dressed as him. "Helloo, my name is Mr. Vader, I believe you have a letter for me."
