'Star Wars' villain wanted for robbery
It appears that life on the dark side is not so rosy
after all.

When Darth Vader made an appearance at a movie theater in Springfield, Ill., on May 21, he wasn't there to recruit minions or to watch his doppelganger in the sixth and final Star Wars movie, "Episode III: Revenge of the Sith."

Instead, he robbed the cash register.

According to Springfield Police Lieutenant Doug Williams, an unidentified man wearing a Darth Vader mask, black pants and a black shirt walked into the Showplace Eight Theatre at about 9:15 p.m. The man made his way behind the counter of the front cashier area, shoved the employee aside and grabbed an undisclosed amount of money.

Williams said the suspect did not utter a word during the crime, nor could witnesses detect any heavy breathing coming from behind the mask. There was also no sign of the villain's ubiquitous light saber.

The suspect reportedly fled the theater and escaped into a nearby wooded area. Police have no lead in the case.

The man is approximately six feet tall and 150 pounds. Williams said the suspect also wore a green money belt in addition to his all-black ensemble.

Anyone with information should contact the Springfield Police at (217) 788-8322.
