What happened when Princess Leia boarded a New York Subway train? Well, of course the Storm Troopers boarded at the very next stop and arrested her didn’t they? And then Darth Vader turned up and that rebel and traitor got taken away to – well, you’ve all seen the movie. Maybe without this alternative scene from street theatre group Improv Everywhere.
Improv Everywhere have been performing random sketches around New York since 2001, and the Star Wars re-imagining is just the latest follow on for Ghost Busters in a public library, and the April Fools Day no underwear on the subway prank.
Enjoy the video – look out for the title of Leia’s book and giggle at the total blase expressions of the people getting off as the storm Troopers get on – and then you can check out the rest of their stunts on the Improv Everywhere website.
