Back in January, I posted a story about the Devil’s Playground burlesque troupe and their Star Wars themed strip-off events. Now, we have video (courtesy of G4).

Check it out:

Since becoming aware of this show, I have searched my feelings repeatedly and have regrettably determined that I can not spank the wookie to this type of gimmick. Don’t get me wrong, the concept is gold. It’s the execution that sucks wampa balls.

Watching Darth Vader, Boba Fett, and Chewbacca strip down to frilly lingerie is downright disturbing. It’s obvious these strippers don’t really know a thing about Star Wars and have simply found a hook to part geeks from their druggats.

Otherwise, they would know that, along with  Princess Leia and Queen Amidala, the Star Wars universe is rich with sexy female characters including lady Sith Lumiya, bad-bitch Mara Jade, Jaina Solo (Han and Leia’s daughter), Queen Apailana, Rabe (Amidala’s royal handmaiden), and Oola, dancer for Jabba the Hut (and obvious choice for a Star Wars themed strip-show if you ask me).

Oh, and another thing … some of these dancers really could stand to do a few laps around the Dagobah system (yes, I’m talking to you lady Vader).

OK, I’ve gotten my Jedi robes in a bunch over this. If you’ll excuse me, I’ll be in my room resting on my Millennium Falcon bed.
