Drunk with the alcohol, he was.

A north Queensland man caught kidnapping a 20kg statue of Yoda has been charged with theft.

"Fear is the bike path to the Dark Side..." kidnap victim, Yoda.

Police said the Ayr man was under the influence of alcohol - and possibly the Dark Side of the Force - when he stole a pushbike and rode to the police barracks in Young Street where he spotted the diminutive Jedi master under the house.

The man allegedly slung the life-size likeness of the Dagobah resident across the handlebars and rode off doing what police described as an uncanny impression of Elliott and ET from the film, ET The Extra-Terrestrial.
