Performance
Three teams compete in the video. The first consists of the shaggy Chewbacca and a diminutive Jawa, dancing to Kenny Loggins' "Footloose," in a style reminiscent of the dancing in the Kevin Bacon film of the same name. Next, the upbeat strains of Cyndi Lauper's "Girls Just Want to Have Fun" are heard, as Princess Leia and Queen Amidala take the stage, soon to be joined by several other "girls": an Ewok, a boar-like Gamorrean Guard (from Return of the Jedi) and the enigmatic Zam Wesell, would-be assassin of Padmé in Attack of the Clones. Finally, Darth Vader takes the stage to Micheal Jackson's "Thriller," and performs a very masculine dance routine with four armored Imperial Storm Troopers.
Outcome
At the end of the video, each team returns to the stage and the audience votes by applause. Vader and his Storm Troopers win, apparently by a wide margin. Asked if he has "anything to say," Vader is not shy about his dancing prowess: "It was all too easy," is the comment heard in the sinister-sounding voice of Darth vader.
