Beat This Caption (Stormtroopers edition)

Categories: Beat This Caption, Star Wars

94741__storm_l The 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!

"Girl, if Miss France steps on my boot one more time..."

Sadly, the 'United Nations' KKK branch didn't take off as planned.

Vivi Wed, Jan 3, 2007 at 12:56 AM EST

Yep, that's it. The world's coming to an end. It's been real, folks.

Luckily for these guys, being in their thirties and still living in their parent's basement gave them plenty of experience of holding their own poles.

The annual United Nations Parade in the alternate universe where the Nazis won WWII

Oh, no! Not another Star Wars Holiday Special.

According to the Tao de Ching, a person cannot conquer the world with force because force brings resistance. And who got the F in Philosophy at Yale?

Ok - I know terrorism is a growingly realistic threat, but you don't need to dress for a biological attack on the daily.

"Homeward they marched, plastic helmets held high, back to their parents' basements, to pleasure themselves to Carrie Fisher screengrabs..."

Said one geek to another, "At last! Our campaign for world domination is complete."

Zach Tue, Jan 2, 2007 at 03:06 PM EST

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!

Tommy Tue, Jan 2, 2007 at 02:52 PM EST

"Does this outfit make me look fat?"

BamaEd Tue, Jan 2, 2007 at 02:47 PM EST

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.

Ceballos Tue, Jan 2, 2007 at 02:19 PM EST

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

aztvwatcher Tue, Jan 2, 2007 at 02:13 PM EST

I find it really hard to believe Dark Lord Lucas okd this. I am so getting a life when I get home.

furry_tom Tue, Jan 2, 2007 at 02:06 PM EST

If you think this is bad, next year's theme is Pootie Tang.

Tony Tue, Jan 2, 2007 at 02:05 PM EST

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

Marco Tue, Jan 2, 2007 at 01:24 PM EST

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."

snarky Tue, Jan 2, 2007 at 01:21 PM EST

Aren't these Ford's pallbearers?

Man, are the Cylons gonna be pissed the Troops got to Earth first.

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.

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

Joe Tue, Jan 2, 2007 at 10:46 AM EST

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

Mike Tue, Jan 2, 2007 at 10:37 AM EST

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

Mozz Tue, Jan 2, 2007 at 10:36 AM EST
