The Federal Police, the costume, the tude, the swag, the Western suburbs knob wagons, the photo taken from the grassy knoll – This worst has it all. I like to think he was mumbling, “Why don’t you go after the REAL criminals like you know, Darth Vader.” Masterpiece by Shaun N.

Never underestimate the keenness of your average sci-fi nerdlinger…hell, they’ll even jog if it means getting about to Supernova, invoking Jedi strength (if not just a pair of runners and a pram) to accomplish their superhuman feats.
Now if the stormtrooper would justifiably disintegrate some West Perth offices and Audi SUVs (let the A5 coupé past, they’re pretty neato), they’d be a rightful superhero.
But as Rolly alludes to, I guess the Feds have to be seen as giving Karl’s Keystone Kops a run for their money in reinforcing the police state image.
