A candidate, using the identity of the Star Wars Sith Lord has been running in local elections in the city of Odessa.
It’s claimed the man dressed as Chewbacca had broken election day rules by campaigning on voting day.
It’s being reported Chewbacca was fined the equivalent of a fiver.
He’d arrived at a polling station along with the candidate when police stepped in.
