Dance Off with the Star Wars Stars

— June 20, 2008 — Pop Culture
When is the last time that you felt the loving bond of other people who like dancing in Star Wars costumes? If your answer is, "Never," then you're not alone. But if your answer is, "Always," then you're also not alone.

Perhaps the greatest cultural shift in the last decade is that the internet makes it possible for even the most eclectic to find companionship and people with shared interests.

In this lovely video, characters dance while wearing all different sorts of Star Wars costumes. The video has gone viral.

The YouTuber who posted the video describes, "Vader steals the show in this years' dance off. This is part of the Hyperspace Hoopla show at Disney Hollywood Studios' Star Wars Weekends."

Umm, okay.

This lovely piece of randomness was send to me by one of my favorite Trend Hunters, Cowbag, who we featured earlier this week.
