published 11 March 2013

A couple got a shock when they noticed their unborn baby's scan looked like the evil Emperor from the Star Wars films.

Heather Large, 39, immediately spotted the seemingly cloaked figure during the ultrasound on the 20th week of her pregnancy.

Husband Toby, 33, from Pingree Grove, Illinois, explains: "During the ultrasound, Heather noticed that one of the images appeared to look like Emperor Palpatine from Star Wars. "At this point, everyone in the room had a laugh, including our eight-year-old daughter Hannah and the ultrasound technician."
