A woman in England just scored nearly $40,000 after she sued her employer — because a coworker took a Star Wars personality quiz for her… and told everyone she was Darth Vader.
You read that right. This wasn’t some dramatic HR scandal. It started with one of those online quizzes — you know, the kind that usually tells you you’re 73% Chewbacca and should move to Tatooine.
Lorna Rooke, who worked at a blood donation center in 2021, was on a call when her coworkers decided to take a Star Wars-themed Myers-Briggs personality test for fun. Since Lorna wasn’t there, someone took it for her and announced that her personality matched the Dark Side’s finest: Darth Vader.
Now technically, the quiz spun it as a positive — calling Vader a “focused leader who brings teams together.” But Lorna wasn’t laughing. She said it made her feel targeted and unpopular at work, and within a month, she quit and filed a lawsuit.
Fast-forward to now: A judge sided with her and ruled that being labeled as Darth Vader could be seen as insulting and created a hostile work environment. So yes — comparing someone to a Sith Lord… just cost that company $40K.
