On day 3 of the first Ashes Test between England and Australia, a funny incident occurred as the fan wearing the costume of Darth Vader, a Star Wars character, was kicked out from the boundary perimeter at Edgbaston. The stewards were on the scene the moment the protagonist of the space opera multimedia franchise had ventured out of their seat to reach the area close to the playing field on June 18, Sunday.
At that moment, it seemed like Darth Vader was taken into custody by the stewards, which led to the fans on social media reacting with puns and jokes related to the Star Wars movie. Moreover, it was no coincidence that the moment occurred on Father’s Day, something which this character doesn’t resonate with.

Meanwhile, the official Twitter account of Edgbaston gave an update of their own about Darth Vader commotion. They revealed that the character strayed onto the boundary perimeter, which led to him being escorted to their seat to watch the England versus Australia Test match. A pun was also used in the tweet, which read, “The Dark Side we can accept, but not Pitch Side.”
Meanwhile, at the end of day 4 in Edgbaston, Australia were 107/3, while chasing the target of 281 against England. Usman Khawaja was holding fort for the Aussies from his end at 34 not out. He was joined at the fall of third wicket by the nightwatchman Scott Boland, who survived the day’s play at 13 not out.
