Lorna Rooke, a British healthcare worker, was awarded approximately $40,000 after her colleagues compared her personality to that of Darth Vader using an online test completed without her presence. The tribunal deemed this comparison as detrimental, highlighting the negative impact it had on Rooke's mental well-being, including stress and anxiety. The judge emphasized that associating someone with a notorious villain is deeply insulting, particularly within a professional environment where respect and camaraderie should prevail.
Darth Vader is a legendary villain of the Star Wars series, and being aligned with his personality is insulting.
The tribunal called the incident a 'detriment' to Rooke, marking it as a negative and harmful experience in her workplace.
