Okay, I am a Star Wars fan and have always believed that Darth Vader died in the Return of the Jedi. I was walking around Victoria this past July and who do I find? That’s right, Darth Vader. Obviously his death was greatly exaggerated and he really survived to live another day.
I’m pretty sure that if Darth (can I call him by his first name?) knew that he would end up playing a violin on a Victoria street corner for a few coins, he might have decided to really die during the battle of Endor. By the way, he plays a mean violin.
Hahaha! That is a classic shot! I would totally give this guy 20 bucks.

Fun shot, Len. I really like this scene. The ladies in the background, one of which is snapping a photo, adds to the atmosphere.

Great capture Len. Looks like his bow may actually be a modified light saber.

Looks like the Empire has fallen on hard times. I heard they still had a huge mortgage on the first Death Star even as they were building the second. Karma, I guess.

Hahaha, nice picture!
lmao that’s cool! Although, I would have liked to see him with a converted blaster as the string…
Fun picture!
Ha! I love it.
Lol, if you were to ask me 100 times I could picture Darth Vader doing, playing the violin would not be one of them! Great candid Len!

LOL…. now there is an oxymoron. I can almost hear the Starwars theme. Great candid.

That’s so funny, I know that guy! Well, I don’t know him personally, but having lived in Victoria for so long he is a familiar sight and sound. Too bad I had already left town when you visited.
