Aside from the fact that the real Darth Vader is most likely at Comic-Con San Diego, this impostor was described as being  6'2". The real Darth Vader, as portrayed by bodybuilder David Prowse, is 6'6".

The thief entered a branch in Setauket at 11:30 a.m. and demanded money from a teller. But instead of using a light saber, "Darth" threatened the teller with a semiautomatic gun.
