Jedi knight
Australia's foreign minister asked for a date, the US deputy secretary of state played a cowboy, and the Japanese team ran wild with a rugby ball.
But the stars of a skit at a dinner after the Association of South-East Asian Nations (Asean) summit in Laos were the Russians, participants agreed.
Dressed as a Jedi knight, Darth Vader, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov stole the show.
Cloak-clad and with a lighted sword, Mr Lavrov brought the house down.

What is the meaning of Mr Lavrov brought the house down?
What is the meaning of dressed as a Jedi knight? Jedi knight must be a figure in the USA.
The foreign minister asked for a date. What is the meaning of this?
The word date has many meanings and one of them was the romantic one. However, that meaning is incongrous with the rest of the story.

A skit is a short comedy sketch, people generally being silly to entertain their audience, so I think in this case perhaps the foreign minister did ask for a romantic date and that was his little bit of comedy. 'brought the house down' means to make everyone roar with laughter. Jedi Knights make up most of good side in the Star Wars stories and films, who fight against the dark side (led by Darth Vader).

- They were all generally messing around.
