Sixteen men named Darth Vader have registered to run in Ukraine’s parliamentary elections.
They’re among a number of candidates vying for seats in the 26 October polls who have registered under the name of Star Wars characters – including Grand Jedi Master Yoda and Chewbacca.
There is some trouble going on in the Ukraine. I don’t pretend to understand what’s totally going on there but it seems there is some serious political unrest in that nation. The government is in turmoil as its prime minister has fled. Russia seems to be saber rattling in the Crimea region. I hope things settle down there and that there is no return to a cold war situation we found in the 1960’s and 1970’s. We shall see what happens. Peace is always best.
