Sith Lord wins election; Chewbacca arrested
What is the world coming to when a Wookiee can't drive down the street without being arrested?
Yes, that is a video of Chewbacca being arrested. And here he is in court.
Believe it or not, the story gets much MUCH of sorts.
A statement posted on the official Instagram account of the Ukrainian police read: “Nothing unusual here, just Chewbacca detained for being without documents while driving Darth Vader to the elections in Odessa. The Sith Lord has already claimed this was illegal as Chewbacca is his pet and general servant and thus does not require documents.”
Police had earlier dragged “Chewbacca” from a polling station and put him in a van after accusing him of disrupting proceedings.
The Man won't allow a 7-foot tall hairy guy to vote.
BTW, Chewbacca pled that he "was unable to pay because all his cash is tied up in galactic banks without branches or ATMs on Earth."
Now I know what you are thinking - how can Darth Sidious win a non-rigged election? And is that his real name? Well, no. His real name is actually Dmitri Palpatin.
If his last name seems familiar, it is because he officially adopted the moniker of an evil emperor in "Star Wars" (also know as Darth Sidious). The newly elected city councilor's day job is Emperor at Palpatin Finance Group.
People in Ukraine don't take their politicians quite as seriously as they do in the U.S.
For instance, look at what they did to a statue of V. Lenin.
The helmet serves as a wifi hot spot.
Ukraine's Internet Party claims 11 million members.
