In a clip sent on Snapchat, the 19-year-old who was arrested with a crossbow in palace grounds, calls himself a ‘Sith’ and says he will try to kill the queen. The man who broke into Windsor Castle on Christmas Day armed with a crossbow recorded a threatening Snapchat clip, channeling Darth Vader and describing himself as a “Sith.” Jaswant Singh Chail said in the clip that he was planning to assassinate the queen in revenge for a notorious 1919 massacre in India by British soldiers. His father, a software engineer, told reporters from MailOnline Monday: “Something’s gone horribly wrong with our son and we are trying to figure out what.
“We’ve not had a chance to speak to him but are trying to get him the help he needs. From our perspective, we are going through a difficult time. We are trying to resolve this issue and it’s not easy.” In the video, Chail says, in a heavily distorted voice: “I’m an Indian Sikh, a Sith. My name was Jaswant Singh Chail, my name is Darth Jones.” In the movie Star Wars, the “Sith” are aligned with the “dark side” of “the Force.” The actor who recorded Darth Vader’s voce is called James Earl Jones. On the wall behind the man is a framed picture, which, the Sun says, is “of obscure Star Wars bad guy Darth Malgus.” The Sun, which published the video on its website, said it was sent to the man’s friends at 8:06 am, less than half an hour before Chail was arrested by armed police inside the palace grounds. He was less than 2,000 feet from the queen’s private rooms when he was seized.
