A man called Luke Skywalker appeared in court today.

The 44-year-old namesake of the Star Wars character is charged with indecently assaulting a man between November 18 and 21 last year.

He denied the charge at a previous hearing and is awaiting trial.

Skywalker, who has no fixed address, wore a navy T-shirt, grey fleece, trousers and a pendant at the short hearing at Bristol Crown Court.

When asked by the court clerk “Are you Luke Skywalker?”, the defendant nodded.

He was granted conditional bail by Judge Tom Crowther.
