An NHS worker won £30,000 compensation after a colleague likened her to Darth Vader during a Star Wars personality test at work. The bizarre comparison led to a real-life HR saga, proving even a galactic villain can cash in on workplace antics if the Force is with them.

Delving into the case, it turns out the NHS worker faced not just mockery but a full-fledged employment tribunal after the “Real-Life Darth Vader” remark. Her legal victory underscores that in modern workplaces, even jokes referencing Star Wars and Darth Vader have serious stakes.
