Whether they’re winking at you with their brown-eye while gyrating to Whitesnake or tearfully jerking you off in a dark booth, strippers work hard for their money. They have to. Their unemployed boyfriend’s rent isn’t gonna pay for itself and Vicodin, unfortunately, doesn’t grow on trees.

These are the boobs you're looking for.

Bordello, a burlesque club in downtown Los Angeles, has come up with a crowd-pleasing gimmick designed to separate the socially awkward sci-fi fan from his benjamins: Star Wars Night. Donning costumes inspired by the George Lucas saga, dancers set their guns to stun and work the crowd as if a Rancor monster lurks below the stage.

"Is that a light saber in your pocket or ..."

I’m a huge Star Wars geek. But, after searching my feelings, I find the idea of watching Darth Vader and Boba Fett work the pole while dressed in drag to be a disturbance in the force in my pants. I mean, Princess Leia … yes! Queen Amidala … you bet! Jaina Solo (daughter of Han Solo and Princess Leia in the Star Wars expanded universe) … mos def! Even effeminate protocol droid C-3PO is passable. But, the Sith Lord and the galaxy’s most bad-ass bounty hunter? That’s just a big bowl of frosted wrong (still, it beats out these kinky Trekkies).

Slave 1 for you.

However, if you live in LA and are curious to see what’s under Emperor Palpatine’s robe, you can catch an encore performance of the show on March 13. The event is presented by Devil’s Playground. In the meantime, you can clock in some solo time with the following gallery:
