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](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cocacola-x-star-wars) from Wookies to [Stormtroopers, Sith Lords](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/star-wars-x-columbia-collection) 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.
