Star Wars Subway Car

Finally
From "Improv Everywhere"

For our latest mission, we staged a reenactment of the first Princess Leia / Darth Vader scene from Star Wars on a New York City subway car. 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. We spread out the actors along the train line, staging it so they would enter the right car at the right time.

I'd rather listen to an hour of Abba than an hour of The Beatles.

That was great! I love the reaction when the doors open, and Darth Vader walks in.

:shrug: College kids have been doing stuff like this for years. We used to do all kinds of stunts, and not to be famous on Youtube.

I wish I still had the Encouragement Man movie we made.
The problem with having an open mind is that people keep trying to put things in it.

+1. In fact it's a very good thing the majority of my shenanigans were never recorded.

I see nothing funny about "good" people sitting by and watching as grave injustice is perpetrated in front of their noses, simply because it isn't happening to them personally. Such is the recipe for too many of our historic catastrophes. Those subway riders need to take a long look in the mirror and reflect on these ageless words:

All that is necessary for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing.
As a good person, I implore you to do as I, a good person, do. Be good. Do NOT be bad. If you see bad, end bad. End it in yourself, and end it in others. By any means necessary, the good must conquer the bad. Good people know this. Do you know this? Are you good?

So, you support terrorists travelling on the New York subway!

I think you'll be getting a visit very soon.
What do you mean "we", have you got a mouse in your pocket?
