A Star Wars fan who founded the Britain's first Jedi Church has been attacked by a drunk Darth Vader weilding a metal crutch.

Jedi Master Hehol, (Barney Jones) a hairdresser from Wales, was being interviewed for a TV documentary when the assault took place.

Wearing a bin-bag and trademark helmet, Vader jumped over a garden fence before hitting him. Police are investigating a claim of assault.
