This Week's Sign of the Downfall

Jabba the Butt

“The Empire Strips Back” is the most popular traveling burlesque show in the galaxy right now – it’s experienced sold-out success in England, France, Australia and 35 major cities across the U.S., because apparently, these are the droids you’ve been looking for. The show features “sexy stormtroopers” and wet T-shirt carwashes for spaceships, but both Darth Vader and Luke have been replaced by women, because a father/son duo would’ve killed the vibe. Chewbacca is still male because nobody wants to see a naked wookiee, and Han Solo is still played by a male actor as well, most likely because his name is bursting with obvious innuendos.
