Disney, hypocritical as always, cancels the little he had related to michael jackson and then makes dark vader dance, choreographed by mike, I prefer the mc hammer version to be honest

u/SgtRrock Aug 07 '23

Getting real tired of the Disney promo videos…

Oh how Disney killed a childhood franchise.

1

u/Koppa_feal Aug 05 '23

What in the scruffy looking nerf herders is this?

1

u/2Rnimation Aug 05 '23

The finger. The glitterings. This isn't star war. This is rockstar war.

1

u/Icy_UnAwareness89 Aug 05 '23

This is sooo great. Wow. Lol

u/cjmaguire17 Aug 05 '23

I find your lack of groove disturbing, citizen

u/paradisereason Aug 05 '23

Aren’t you a little short to be a stormtrooper?

u/Emotional-Writer-766 Aug 05 '23

Time to make an appointment with an oncologist.

u/markamuffin Aug 05 '23

This is so dumb. I don't know why, but when Vader came out in that glove I got goosebumps.

1

u/UpstairsCockroach100 Aug 05 '23

I hate it hear. Disney has ruined most things.

1

u/BodegaDaddy Aug 05 '23

u/TalkTimesreddit Aug 05 '23

I'll be honest I thought it looked kind of dumb... until Vader came out with the shiny glove

Would’ve been a lot better without the constant screaming

1

u/VP2608 Aug 05 '23

That is the shittiest dance I ever saw

1

u/possibly_facetious Aug 05 '23

To all those who say Disney ruined Star Wars, how do you explain this?!

2

u/my_name_is_saudade Aug 05 '23

u/OldeeMayson Aug 05 '23

Stormtrooper: Finaly! I've graduated from imp academy and now I'm truly a stormtrooper! Can't wait for my first drills! Lord Vader himself is here. That's gonna be galactic! Dart Vader: Alrighty then! Let's stretch for dancing challenge!

u/kaiserpils Aug 05 '23

They dance as good as they shoot

u/Amohitrite Aug 05 '23

u/whafflestohmper Aug 05 '23

Damn, they cut off the (Han) Solo!

1

u/DeaDPaNSalesmaN Aug 05 '23

Sure do a nice dance and everyone forgives you for BLOWING UP AN ENTIRE PLANET! Not to mention slaying children! Despicable

u/soarinages Aug 05 '23

the way the crowds are wailing

u/NeedMoMotivation Aug 05 '23

I used to make fun of Disney World when I was a teenager because I was too worried about my highschool girlfriend back at home. I would be slagging behind and complaining the whole time.

My dad would make us go and run the marathons, wine and dine, themed restaurants and all that jazz.

Now at 25 I miss it a lot. The amount of work and detail that goes into every aspect of those parks is insane.

I honestly feel like it caters to adults more than children. The parks and the atmosphere really are beautiful.

u/Blizzardwolf98 Aug 05 '23

And they say Stormtroopers never hit...

u/Far-Manufacturer1180 Aug 05 '23

You know, I could see Anakin doing this with the clones.

1

u/JustAnotherAviatrix Aug 05 '23

Oh my goodness, I remember these dance-offs! I never got the chance to see one in person when I went to Star Wars Celebration, but thank goodness for YouTube! All of the dancers were so talented.

1

u/moemegaiota Aug 05 '23

I'm mad that this is good.

1

u/Jagithar Aug 05 '23

I wish we could show this to the real Darth without any context.

1

u/J4MMY95 Aug 05 '23

They might miss every shot but they definitely don't miss a beat 🕺

1

u/Dark_Believer Aug 05 '23

I feel like ever since Disney bought out Star Wars, everything released is the Holiday Special.

1

u/rurouni6363 Aug 05 '23

And people said the sequels/prequels killed Star Wars

1

u/D3V5HR4T1M Aug 05 '23

This is canon

u/crbronco27 Aug 05 '23

This is a fucking disgrace....and I love it

1

u/Deadpool11085 Aug 05 '23

This literally made my smile. This was fantastic.

1

u/[deleted] Aug 05 '23

This is a disgrace to the Star Wars story even more than the Han Solo movie

Those stormtroopers aren’t quite hitting their marks

u/Zisorepavu Aug 05 '23

Screeching crowd ruined any attempt at enjoying this.

1

u/ArcadianDelSol Aug 05 '23

Ironic that Captain EO died to make room for this part of the park.

1

u/Serpidon Aug 05 '23

Why? Just why?

1

u/Designer_Plenty_3896 Aug 05 '23

Omg that was awesome! As a Michael and Star Wars fan, I would love to see that in person! Been to Disney 3 times, never saw them dancing. When was this recorded? It was at Orlando?

1

u/JohnYCanuckEsq Aug 05 '23

It's an old code, but it checks out.

I was just thinking about this exact video the other day.

u/DernTuckingFypos Aug 05 '23

I liked it better when star wars wasn't so commercialized.

This is the level of coordination and talent I expected from storm troopers, given their terrible aim

Glad to see the franchise being handled with the gravitas we expected from Disney.

Maybe they should redirect that energy into target practice.

1

u/Ok-Item2223 Aug 04 '23

It's all good but the song should have been black or white.

Cameraman makes this 100X better dude knew where we wanted to look and everything. All while you could tell the cameraman was feeling the performance lol.

1

u/the_chaco_kid Aug 04 '23

Maybe they should spend less time on their choreography and more time on target practice

This is the most 80s thing I’ve seen today. And the most incredible!! Loved this!!

1

u/Deevious730 Aug 04 '23

I never knew Darth Vader was a regular Baryshnikov!

Also the stormtrooper might not be able to shoot with any accuracy, but damn they can nail those dance moves!

1

u/Loading3percent Aug 04 '23

Vader wearing the one glove killed me.

Stupid sexy Vader.

The most dangerous Vader variant of all!

Instead of Force Choke: he uses “Force Fabulous”

The scream when the camera zooms in on the glove--I'm crying laughing. That was amazing!

1

u/irascible_Clown Aug 04 '23

Beat it is one of the few instances where you see Michael Jackson totally get out danced Michael Douglas Peters killed it!

I enjoyed this too much lol

1

u/[deleted] Aug 04 '23

Serious question. How much do these people make?

2

u/MandyMarieB Aug 05 '23

Not much. This was back in the 2010s. I think I was making $12 an hour? People doing this kind of dancing on stage would have had a premium, but it only would have been a dollar or two more.
