(Springfield, Illinois-NBC) May 22, 2005 - It appears Darth Vader delivered an unwelcome show of force at an Illinois movie theater this weekend.
Police in Springfield, Illinois say a man wearing a Darth Vader mask walked into a movie theater, shoved an employee out of the way and grabbed a bunch of cash.
Investigators say the robber fled the theater and ran into a nearby wooded area. Police have no suspects.
"Star Wars: Episode Three-Revenge of the Sith" was actually one of the movies playing at the theater.
Investigators say the robber didn't display any weapons- not even a light saber.
