The new trailer for this summer’s animated feature Star Wars: The Clone Wars isn’t all that exciting. So instead, I bring you this year’s Star Wars dance-off (aka Dancing with the Star Wars Stars) from a recent Star Wars Weekends event held at Disney’s Hollywood Studios. I’d definitely prefer a theatrical release of something like this than a movie that looks like a video game. And who can argue with me? Chewbacca dancing to the theme from Footloose? Princess Leia singing “Girls Just Wanna Have Fun” to her mom, Queen Amidala? Darth Vader and troops reliving the video for Michael Jackson’s “Thriller”? There’s no way you can say no to that.

This year’s dance numbers were so much better than last year’s disco-themed event, which reminded me too much of the Star Wars Holiday Special. I’ve never before wanted to become a convention-attending, costume-wearing Star Wars geek, but if they have this kind of fun, I might just change my mind.
