Scottish Stormtrooper Dances To Bagpipes To Protest Evil British Empire

http://io9.com/scottish-stormtrooper-dances-to-bagpipes-to-protest-evi-1636267571

Star Wars has become a recurring theme in the lead-up to today's referendum vote on Scottish independence, as pro-independence campaigners lampoon the British as their evil imperial overlords. So, yes, that's why we're treated to this rare sight of a stormtrooper dancing to bagpipes in Glasgow.

And a few days earlier, a man riding a rickshaw and blasting the Imperial March stalked Labour party members who were in Scotland to defend the union.

Stormtroopers were part of the Evil Empire. If they're painted in Scottish colours, and dancing to bagpipes, that make Scotland the Evil Empire ...

Plus, everyone know Wookies were good guys, and they are clearly from England: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wookey_Hole_Caves
