It seems the Empire has fallen on hard times. Presumably to get finishing funds for his latest Death Star, Darth Vader—or a man pretending to be Darth Vader?—was reduced to robbing a bank on Long Island this morning.

This economy has hit everyone hard.
Now we have the sordid tale of the fall of a mega-villain reduced to bank robbery.

I don’t think that hijabs are normally that shiny.

The force is useless in this galaxy. He must also be a bit pissed off at his son trying to burn him on Endor.
