I'd say that would be a wake-up call.

If you were to suddenly come to, and found yourself in the middle of a field, dressed as Darth Vader and swinging a crutch, that might be a sign that your drinking problem has gotten a little out of hand.

Which is not to say that most Star Wars nerds couldn't use a good beating with a crutch by the town drunk every now and again.

Not to say that the asshat didn't deserve a termination of his ale-swilling privelidges for awhile, but but good lord! There were at least three geeks to the one drunken asshat. Why not issue him an on-the-spot drubbing?

Members of the Jedi Faith Church, with light sabers--excuse me, sabres--couldn't take a drunk with a crutch?
Weak in them the Force is.
Disappointed Yoda is.

Gotta go with Matt on this.

I'll confess to nerdhood, and the hubby DID make custom lightsabers for all our groomsmen - however as the lads are all reinactors and their sabers are combat capable (they'll take a hit with a Jeep with ease) I'm sure my "big brothers" would have managed to handle the situation a bit differently.

Seriously. If you are swinging a sword like object around and a drunk swings at you - take the sucker to the ground and make sure to humiliate/sober him up fully before calling the police.

Knowing my Jedi's as I do, I would imagine something in the line of the drunk being found roughed up a touch then forcibly marched through town in Leia's bikini and cinnabuns.

Reminds me of a couple of Star Wars fans who were disrupting a Science Fiction Convention. Six years after the first movie, and the little fifteen year old schmucks are acting like they invented it. I was one of the original 15 year old schmucks when the movie first came out. So I told them if they didn't stop their impromptu dueling, I'd come after them with something meaner than a light saber..... A HEAVY SABER!!!

They WERE bothering me while I was drinking.....
