Slightly ​conflicting reports, coming from..... Odessa Ukraine -

Chewbacca has been arrested for improper ID, or driving without a license, after driving Darth Vader to a polling place & possibly resiting arrest.

Darth Vader was taken into custody & questioned for hours & reprimanded by police & for campaigning on an Election day (which is illegal).

Darth Vader is running for Mayor of Odessa.
And there is a dispute over his name, however he is registered in some places as Darth Ivanovich Vader.
* Such as his passport*

Chewbacca did appear in court & was fined between $7.50- $8.00. (U.S.)
Which may or may not have been for resiting arrest.... Though he was physically removed on election day.

At least one Storm Trooper was at the polling site with his vehicle.

Go ' Internet Party '.

Just in time for the release of the latest Star Wars blockbuster, Ukrainians in Odessa have transformed a statue of Lenin into one of Darth Vader, an oddly prominent figure in local politics.

Soviet founder Lenin, long despised by most in non-separatist parts of Ukraine, fell victim to a law adopted in April that ordered the removal of all symbols and insignia reminding the country of its communist past.

Darth Vader is also cast as the embodiment of evil in the George Lucas movies a black-masked, light sabre-wielding villain who is in permanent battle with the good Force.

But the Dark Lord of the Sith is a rather more popular figure in Ukraine, where Western culture is being embraced and the Soviet past erased from history, a transition that outrages Russia.

One masked villain tried joining last year's presidential race, being denied registration only after he refused to disclose his real name and identity papers.

Later that year, Darth Vaders ran as candidates for mayors of Kiev and Odessa, the historic Black Sea port where the new statue was formally unveiled on Friday.

Star Wars characters such as the grunting, hairy giant Chewbacca, the Jedi Master Yoda and the courageous Princess Amidala also tried their luck in November's parliamentary poll in full costume, all without success.

Most of these offbeat candidates represent the tiny Pirate Party of Ukraine, one of more than 40 groups that have sprung up worldwide in defence of Internet freedoms and limits on copyright laws.

This Sunday, another Darth Vader will run for Odessa mayor again as the crisis-torn east European country holds local elections across Kiev-controlled lands.

I wish he would run in the Presidential election. Who would you vote for, Hillary Clinton, Donald Trump, or Darth Vader?

I wouldn't vote for Billary if she were the only candidate.

Vader would probably be even tougher than Trump on immigration, etc.

We'd probably end up with Lord Dark Helmet (Spaceballs) instead.
