Darth Vader was recently the victim of a traffic cop in Brooklyn, though it easily could have been downtown Twin...which leads me to believe he wasn't driving the Death Star or a Tie Fighter that day.

This happened in Brooklyn last month, but it's making the rounds online now.  A guy dressed as Darth Vader got a parking ticket outside the 5th Avenue Family Fun Festival . . . and tried to argue his way out of it while he was still in costume.

--He had a pretty thick accent, but the mask messed with his voice.  So it made him sound like Darth Vader . . . if Vader was from Brooklyn.

--The best part is halfway through, when two Storm Troopers show up, followed by a Sand Person and Obi-Wan Kenobi.  In the end, the cop says he's not the one who wrote the ticket, and just walks away.

(--A few highlights are when Vader points at the cop at :06 and waves for him to come over.  Then at :10, there's a kid standing right behind the cop, and the kid doesn't know WHAT to think.)

(--The other characters start arriving at :40.  Search for "Darth Vader Gets Snubbed by NYC Traffic Cop.")
