'Surprisingly good': John Prescott battled against competitor Andy Yeomans with the red lightsaber usually favoured by Darth Vader

And though he is running for Police and Crime Commissioner for Humberside Police, it seems the cyber warrior chose a weapon more usually associated with the dark side.
