Darth Vader himself, flanked by a couple of Stromtroopers, made a surprise appearance at a performance by the Russian State Cinema Symphony Orchestra at the Moscow Conservatory and stayed for a rendition of John Williams’ Imperial March.
Surprisingly, the unexpected guest didn’t gatecrash the show in a galaxy far, far away – but in Russia’s Moscow State Tchaikovsky Conservatory.
Despite his late arrival, George Lucas’ formidable character still offered a bow to the orchestra’s conductor, Sergei Skripka.
And as scenes from the Star Wars series flash onto the screen behind the musicians, Darth Vader simply sits back and has a lovely time.
The video is from 2015 but we couldn’t resist posting!
