“Darth Vader is a legendary evil of the Star Wars series, and being parallel to her personality is offensive,” the judge said
“Apology (not) Accept” as a well -known Sith lord would say. Deprivation British worker Lorna Ruk received almost $ 40,000 (35,000 euros) as compensation after comparing it with Darth Vader’s lord – a parallel who, curiously how, lawyers considered “Offensive”.
“Darth Vader is a legendary evil of the Star Wars series, and being paralleled with her personality is offensive,” said workers’ dispute Kathryn Ramsden during the Court of Justice, which took place in London, the Guardian said.
Her lawyers considered harmful to personality Ruki compared to his evil “Star Wars”, half a man half a machine, who was known in the films that he was not treated in the best way to his subordinates using the force to be … convincing in his commands.
The case began in 2021, after Ruk, working in the blood and transplant sector of the British National Health System (NHS) as a Training and Practice Supervisor, was invited to do a psychological test on “Star Wars” as a teamwork.
In the questionnaire, participants answered questions to evaluate their level of introversion, their level of empathy, whether they worked more on the basis of their thoughts or emotions, and how they perceived the world around them.
They were then compared to a character of “Star Wars” – for which there were 16 options – which the company considered to embody these features, the Guardian said.
While being depicted in the films as a lord of the siths destroying planets, Darteer was described in the quiz as one ‘Very concentrated person’ that could accelerate the synergy of the group.
Ruk did not complete the quiz herself, as she had to answer a personal phone call.
But when she returned, she discovered that a colleague had responded to her and announced that the boss was the … Psychological Savior of Darteer.
Ruk found this comparison with the iconic evil – whose real name is Skaiwoker – Extremely unpleasant, and said that she made her extremely unprofessional in the workplace. In fact, he mentioned as one of the reasons why he left the job next month.
While the Court agreed that the “incident with Darteer” influenced how her colleagues perceived her, she rejected her claim that this was the reason behind her resignation.
Eventually they ruled that she was “detrimental” and awarded her 28,989.61 pounds ($ 38,729).
