Description
A busker commonly seen on the waterfront in Victoria, BC. Recently he was attacked, and his jet-black fiddle was smashed. The community rallied and bought him this new fiddle. It's really good to see him back.Photographer: Kaatman

LOL! That's so cool!!
And that's so sad that he was attacked! No fair! I'm glad he got a new one though. As a 'fiddler' myself, that's pretty darn cool.

Well, the full suit would be murderous on a sunny day, he probably wouldn't be able to play for long and wouldn't make much.

I used to think that Darth Vader was only good at choking people... Now though, I realize that he can do ANYTHING!

Darth Vader should be playing the world's smallest violin for you as he crushes your forces!

I don't blame you, he's a neat guy.
And best of all, he's going to let me do a time-lapse video of him busking.

His armour is different to the normal Vader but he still looks cool and a trekkie must of smashed his violin.

Maybe. I can't blame him for changing the armor, really. The full deal would be murderous on a hot day. I'm not sure how he does it right now, honestly.

They don't know. Despite the fact that it was in the major tourist area of town and there are generally hundreds of people around, apparently there where no witnesses.
