Darth Vader demands Ukrainian spaceship port - video

A Ukrainian Darth Vader has demanded that city officials give him land for a spaceship port.

An unknown man dressed as the Star Wars villain appeared at Odessa City Hall on Friday (November 18), following a controversial decision to distribute costal plots amongst just five citizens for free.

"I am Darth Vader," he told security personnel. "I heard that land is being carved up in the city of Odessa and that many deputies, city administration, and the mayor have joined the Dark Side. I have come for my parcel of land for the spaceship."

In a video of the visit, Darth later removes his headpiece to deliver his official application, revealing himself to be surprisingly youthful.

"I will receive an answer within 30 days whether or not I can receive land on the hills of Odessa for my landing craft," he said. "I think everything will go smoothly as the mayor and many deputies are with the Dark Side."

In response, an Odessa City Hall spokeswoman insisted: "We are not the Dark Side, there are only Princess Leias here."
