• The increasingly nerd-friendly burlesque joint Bordello in L.A. had another nerd-themed strip night, this time inspired by Star Wars. The ladies dressed as Slave Leia, a Stormtrooper, Darth Vader, Boba Fett, C-3PO, and, amazingly, Jabba the Hutt (it's not as terrifying as you think, but it is pretty terrifying). The pics begin here.
• What I'm convinced is the greatest Deadpool comics page of all time, courtesy of Distracted by Star Wars.
• Of course, you know I can't leave you with pics of sexy Stormtroopers and wacky Deadpool hi-jinks -- that wouldn't be nearly scarring enough. So enjoy this exceedingly French clip of French people doing some kind of Star Wars thing in ways that will leave you confused, angry and feeling like you've been touched inappropriately. Much thanks to Sean P. and everyone else who sent in the tip.
they could have done us a favor and batched the photos of the dudes near the end, or in a completely different gallery.
thank you, Judo.

Two things...
1) That is a prime candidate for "one of the greatest Deadpool moments of all time.."
... and...
2) I'll never look at Star Wars the same way again...
Strip club etiquette = http://bit.ly/ttvrn
that's a storm trooper artard
I'm happy I don't live in LA. I'd be at that burlesque show every night!
Loved the Stormtrooper, easily the hottest.
well said....love your dictionary.
Why would anyone, ever, even the french, think that was a good idea. I dont understand. Going to go cry in a ball now.
I have to give some credit to that star wars burlesque show and yet some things just are stupid. Slave Leia wins hands-down. It almost always is a win. Jabba was actually well done and I'd give it the second spot. C3P0 was just fucking weird and disturbing. Boba Fett and Darth Vader could have been better. The Storm Trooper looked better with her helmet on.
I think a Queen Amidala look from the Phantom Menace would have been quite awesome. A Darth Maul would be better than Darth Vader having some sexy woman in black leather with that red/black facepaint and horns. Maybe a Togruta female Jedi like Ahsoka. And while this would be as weird as C3P0, I'd like to see their take on Chewbacca.
Citizen Sniiiiiiiiiiiiiiips!
Because the Empires anti-discrimination laws lacks enforcements, you don´t see wookies or blacks in the Imperial fleet either, except Darth Wader, but he is Sith and whitefaced so he doesnt count
Wait, wait! I know the answer to this one! Oh, the shame! Yes, I confess I actually paid attention during some of the parts of the prequels. There are no female Stormtroopers because they're all clones of Boba Fett's dad. Except Tag & Bink, I guess. Actually, I'm kinda fuzzy on the details. I think the IRL answer is that Lucas was and is wary of provoking lustful thoughts about characters named after the Kaiser's elite assault soldiers. Coz that's a short road to "Ilsa, She-Wookie of the S.S."
Actually, during the era that French thing was originally aired, it could just as easily have appeared on many American variety shows. I'm thinking Donny & Marie in particular, but Pink Lady would have run it twice as long and Brady Bunch Variety Hour would have made it twice as bizarre.
Flapper-dancing Threepios are my new goatse. Abhorrent, but you cannot look away and you really, really want to share it with the whole world.
you know, now that i think about it, how come there was never any FEMALE stormtroopers or admirals when there are clearly female DROIDS and leader of the empire?!
also, after watching that gallery, i started popping a boner every time i see regular pictures of C3P0. does that mean i need professional help?
WTF? The Star Wars Batusi featuring Star Wars and Other Galactic Funk with an Pina Bausch-esque coreography about C3PO and Darth Vader dancing romance?!?! Only in France!
Burlesque: [ber-lesk] noun, adjective, verb, -lesqued, -lesquing.
* The name that plain to mildly-attractive use for attention whoring for money while still pretending that they're not as "dirty" or "low class" as strip club dancers.
* A show comprised of chicks who aren't hot enough to get dollar bills in their thong.
* Stripping, but with a gimmick that distracts the audience from noticing that the strippers aren't very appealing or sexy, despite their personal delusion of being "artists" instead of "prostitutes".
Is it just me or does C3P0 look a lot like Voldo from Soul Caliber in a few of those photos?
French people dancing is a peculiar spectacle. But the French dancing as C-3P0 and Darth Vader? Now I'm afraid you've lost me.
Awesome. It only took you like three months to discover a Deadpool comic that has been circulated on just about every geek site there is. Better late than never, eh?
I can't decide if that Jabba is more disturbing with or without the Jabba costume.
I have the song from that video on vinyl. Its an album by Meco called "Star Wars and Other Galactic Funk"
The sexy Storm Trooper could get it, preferably with the helmet on.
As far as the French Star Wars thing I feel the need to share it with everyone I know and ruin their day.
C-3PO HAS NIPPLE TASSLES!! D8
WTF?!
It's probably the American in me and feel free to disagree, but it prefer good 'ol fashion porn to burlesque. For all its artlessness and soulessness, it's fast, cheap, palatable, and gets me as far as I need to go.
...great, now I'm craving some McDonald's nuggets
That french SW thing... Man. Leave it to the french...
They wear masks so they can't see their shame. Unfortunately for everyone else, we can still see it.
Leto II + The Joker= Jabba stripper
Wow. I'm French: we got a lot of things wrong, but I think that is even wronger. Damn. Now to state the obvious: this is really really old, circa 77 or 78; Claude Francois, one of our most "famous" pop singer, featured at the beginning, died in 78 in an "infamous" bathtub accident (he didn't pull a "Carradine" though).
I'm not sure what is sexually attractive to a man, but I'd assume guys would have been more turned on if the Boba Fett girl would have kept her mask on the entire time.
the french star wars video would wind up in a sequal to the holiday special for the ones who made it must really have been fans of c3p0 and darth vader and wondered if they would make nice dance partners the burlesque pictures the jabba was so wrong yet the lady deserves props for daring to dance like jabba . and even dead pool thinks Jar jar is evil.
I've said it before. What the hell, France?
Took ya long enough to get that Deadpool image up. It's a coupla months old now.
The French Star Wars thing seemed like something that Lumpy would have watched on the Star Wars Holiday Special.
Rob, 99.9% of the time I am the pigeon to your seed feeding news site, but the jabba the hutt...no...words...
Gaining my composure only lead to the realization of what is essentially a love child of lady gaga and the joker bursting from hutt's guts.
I'm mortified.
And I read iron man fondling astoboy...
Well, at least this time it wasn't a God damn tranny-storm trooper performing the worlds most akward striptease...
When did "burlesque" become so retarded?
Jabba the Hutt was done quite clever.
Loved French Star Wars, reminds me of Eurovision Song Contest
Leave it to Deadpool to put it like it is
wow... that image of C-3PO with nice boobs has me...
VERY confused...
like having a REALLY good steak and then squeezing chocolate sauce onto it...
