Darth Vader tried to protect his wife in a knife fight.

Earlier this year, Darth Vader was captured trying to rob a bank in Ohio, but now there is some news about the real Darth Vader. It was revealed on Wednesday, Oct. 17, 2012 that a British man will be serving 18 months of community service for punching the wife of his neighbor. His neighbor actually happens to be named Darth Vader.

The jealousy of Ikbal Hare is what caused the problem and led to a violent confrontation between him and his neighbor Darth Vader, who officially changed his name from Mark Nokes to the famous "Star Wars" character.

Hare though that Vader was having a relationship with his girlfriend and accused him of it. Back in September, Hare confronted Vader about what he believed. Vader denied the claims, but his wife tried to get in the middle of the two men to stop the fight.
