Video: Improv Everywhere's 'Star Wars' Scene on NYC Subway Car



Improv Everywhere, the group of performers who create scenes in public places, are at it again. This time they brought a scene from Star Wars to a New York City subway car.

The scene, where Princess Leia first interacts with Darth Vader, is reenacted to the amusement of the other riders. "The white walls and sliding doors on the train reminded us of the rebel ship from the movie, and we thought it would be fun to see how people would react to a surprise appearance by the iconic characters," the troop said of the project.

This comes from a long line of fun missions from Improv Everywhere. They also do the No Pants Subway Ride every year, and were responsible for the Ghostbusters scene in the New York Public Library and frozen Grand Central.




In other Star Wars news, Mark Hamill has revealed that he will be appearing a the annual fan convention Celebration V in August. Luke Skywalker will be there to meet fans and sign autographs. He will also be present on the Celebration Stage. This appearance is in addition to the previous announcement that Jon Stewart would be there to interview George Lucas.
