There have been tons of responses to the Hollaback! girl video that take a pretty serious look at the way both men and women are regarded in public. However, this video of '10 Hours of Princess Leia Walking in NYC' features a more silly take on the original.
In the video, Leia is harassed by characters from the Star Wars franchise from Wookies to Stormtroopers, Sith Lords and even Yoda himself. Just like the original, the woman refuses to acknowledge the comments of presence of the guys, even when Boba Fett creepily walks alongside Leia for a good couple of minutes without uttering a word. Since the original video documented people of all kinds of background making unwanted comments, this one shows creatures from all galaxies doing the same.
