Darth Vader's Wife Punched in Face during Alleged Infidelity Scuffle, Ikbal Hare Charged in UK Court with Assault

An English bouncer who legally changed his name to Darth Vader got involved in a physical scuffle with his neighbor Ikbal Hare, after Hare accused the infamous "Star Wars" villain-wannabe of infidelity. During the confrontation, Darth Vader's wife Suzanne was accidently punched in the face by Hare. Apparently the 35-year-old Englishman was not aware of Darth Vader's "dark force" powers - he was recently slapped with an 18-month-probation order by Wolverhampton Crown Court in regards to the September 20 fracas.

Apparently Hare accused Vader (formerly Mark Nokes, who legally changed his name to coincide with the 1999 release of "The Phantom Menace"), of cheating with his lover, Kerry Campbell. During the Blakc Country Council estate confrontation, Hare swung a punch at Vader, but missed and ending up slapping his 420year-old wife Suzanne (who also legally changed her last name to Vader). Hare allegedly also picked up a brick and threw sand at Vader's face during the scuffle. Vader then locked Suzanne in the house to avoid further confrontation, but was alarmed to hear that Hare had armed himself with a knife.

Hare then bailed and ran off to his girlfriend's house (Darth Vader's pursuit failed, and Hare managed to escape), but he arrested two days later.

Hare pleaded guilty in Court on Tuesday to possessing a bladed article, assaulting Mrs Vader, and disorderly behavior. Along with the 18-month probation, Hare was ordered to complete 200 hours of unpaid work and attend anger management classes.

Darth Vader insists the entire ordeal was a misunderstanding: "He's just some idiot shouting his mouth off. It's over as far as I'm concerned."

This is what one eye-witness neighbor had to say: "Let's just say Ikbal reckoned Darth had been impressing Kerry with his lightsaber. Who knows the truth but it's not every day the Dark Lord has a punch up in the street over a woman."

Mrs. Vader escaped the duel with a bruised cheek.
