London in the sunshine seems such a fantastic place and could only be spolit by the authorities – well this time it was Imperial Forces at work, upsetting the karma around Covent Garden.
The UK Garrison of the 501st Stormtrooper Legion turned out to protect THE ARTFUL DODGER, our visiting artist, whilst he began painting a canvas in the window at Forbidden Planet.
Passersby hoping to see how the work was coming on were forced to swear their allegiance to the Empire or face the consequences.
The troopers then went on a recce to Neal’s Yard – running into local police enforcement. Luckily, the local police understood the pecking order and when asked to do, moved on.
Later, a few troops… thought about really turning to the Dark Side. Check out this clip courtesy of Mike Atherton.
Oh… we should also mention the visit from the Bulgarian entry to the Eurovision song contest – they won over the hearts of those troopers. DeepZone and DJ Balthazar got them dancing in the streets!
