Burlesque troupe Devil’s Playground returned to the stage on July 10th to perform their popular Star Wars themed striptease show at The Music Box theater in Hollywood, CA. However, a disturbance in the force—namely a cease-and-desist letter from Lucasfilms’ antipiracy department—has strong-armed troupe founder Courtney Cruz into making some notable changes to the act.

For starters, the Star Wars costumes have now been feminized with touches of glitter and pink. Names have been changed as well (i.e. Princess Leia is now Princess Slaya, Chewie is now Chunky). The stage show also features girlier props such as giant lipstick canons and the addition of an intergalactic smuggler named Juan Cholo.

I’m not sure if the show’s new tweaks will get Lucasfilms off the dancers’ tattooed asses, but it’s a hell of a Wampa step in the right direction. Watching Sith Lords, wookies, and Imperial stormtroopers strip down to their frilly panties is just not my cup of blue milk.

Everyone loves TIE chicks!

That said, I would totally buy a 2-for-1 lap dance from that TIE Bomber! Just look at those Twin Ion Engines. They gotta be real.
