A STAR Wars burlesque parody is coming — and appears to be from a galaxy far, far wha-hey.
The Empire Strips Back has a busty C-3PO gyrating on stage, plus naughty Stormtrooper routines and other versions of the sci-fi characters.
Yoda even rocks with an electric guitar at the show which opens on May 4 in West London.
The X-Wing rated saucy show, based on Episode V The Empire Strikes Back, lasts for two hours plus a 15-minute interval.
It opens at Riverside Studios in Hammersmith, west London, on Star Wars Day on May 4 – in reference to “May the force be with you”.
Producers promise on its website: “Experience a unique blend of seduction and sci-fi as The Empire Strips Back takes you on a journey to the dark side!
“This tantalising burlesque experience brings beloved characters to life with loving detail and humour that will leave you laughing and swooning at the same time.
“These are the Droids you’re looking for! Sultry Stormtroopers, a dangerously enticing Boba Fett, and a lady-like Skywalker are just a few of the surprises awaiting in a stunning intergalactic show where the Force is strong and the allure is even stronger.
“Whether you’re a die-hard fan or simply looking for a night of fun and entertainment, you won’t want to miss this delightful twist on the saga!”
The 18+ production has sold more than 400,000 tickets during previous runs across the US, Canada, Mexico, Australia and Paris but this is the first time it will be shown in the UK.
One audience member wrote in a review: “Tasteful, sexy, great music, amazing choreography – I definitely felt the force.”
Tickets are priced from £19 to £134 – with a “rebel package” including a t-shirt and express entry.
