Beat This Caption (Stormtroopers edition)

94741__storm_lThe good folks at MetaFilter directed me to a most peculiar photo taken at yesterday’s 118th Rose Parade, where director George Lucas served as Grand Marshal, and a legion of Star Wars fans dressed up in his honor. It seemed to me the perfect opportunity for a rousing game of Beat This Caption, so… hop to it, and beat this caption!

    Luckily with no wives or girlfriends to stop them, the Stormtrooper march went on as planned…

  • Joe

    I don’t know about you guys, but whenever I see Stormtroopers marching in a parade, I get all nervous, 1939-style!

  • Zach

    Of course, the Empire flag had to be held just a little bit higher…

    Supreme Chancellor/George W. Bush: [to the Senate] In order to ensure our security and continuing stability, the Republic will be reorganized into the first Galactic Empire, for a safe and secure society which I assure you will last for ten thousand years.
    Senator Amidala: So this is how liberty dies.

    Every year the Gay Pride Parade gets just a little bit more insufferable!

    In an effort to make the U.N. Peacekeeping Force appear more formidable, new U.N. Secretary General Ban Ki-moon has instituted new uniforms for all soldiers and demanded he only be addressed as “Darth.”

    It’s a good thing Leni Riefenstahl wasn’t Grand Marshal.

    These stormtroopers marched into battle against a foreign, unfamiliar enemy… a woman.

  • BamaEd

    The University of Michigan’s Flag Corps team had their uniforms and flags lost in transit. George Lucas volunteered to help them out. Perhaps they should have been more specific in their request to him.

  • Tommy

    “Does this outfit make me look fat?”

  • Zach

    Ok. We’re going to go in the flag order of most important to least. Ok, USA, first! Turkey, get to the back of the line. I don’t care if you’re funny, personality dosen’t make up for your crappy country’s looks!
