Trial of Darth Vader in Chile
Vador dark he is perhaps the most popular movie villain. Emblematic figure of the Star Wars saga, it is a character anchored in the collective unconscious long since. And there are countless derivative products that bear his image.
It is therefore to mark the spirits thata mock trial was organized on Sunday 28 May 2023 in Chile on the occasion of national heritage day. A day wheninstitutions, museums and multiple buildings, including the presidential palace of La Moneda in Santiago, have opened their doors to the public free of charge“accurate Le Figaro via AFP. But the event to remember is this unlikely trial.
As explained in the article, the purpose of this lawsuit was to “bring justice, so little understood, closer to citizens“. According to Maria del Rosario Lavin, president of the Valparaiso Court of Appeal, “people are familiar with trials and courts, but very little about the role (of an appellate court)“. It is therefore using elements known to the general public that the Valparaiso Court of Appeal has staged this judgment of Darth Vader.
The verdict
If in the public eye Darth Vader is guilty of killing many innocent people, including the young apprentices of the Jedi temple In Revenge of the Sith (2005), this is not what emerged from the sentence. In this trial, the court focused on the events of The empire strikes again (1980). This is how the severed hand of his son, Luke Skywalker, who was convicted: “What is condemned is mutilation, not what Mr. Vader has done before“.
From there and later the spatial penal codeDarth Vader was sentenced to “a just sentence“. Know “remain frozen for 30 years in carbonite“. Beyond this sentence, the Sith Lord will no longer be able to approach his son and will have to stay”at a distance of at least three planets“. Added to this is a permanent ban on the use of the dark force and its lightsaber.
If this verdict has anything to smile about, the judgment has taken place very seriously and with the presence of the lawyer Juan Carlos Manriquez to defend Darth Vader. The latter then made a statement that should amuse some:
I ask neither more nor less than justice. He is a human being with rights (…) He is almost a machine, but also a man. A father.
It is not the first time that this type of mock trial has been organised. Already in 2015 Éric Dupont-Moretti had defended Darth Vader at the Grand Rex. The Sith Lord had therefore been acquitted!
