"Aren't you a little short for a stormtrooper?"

She may not look like much, but she's got it where it counts, kid.

Los Angeles club Bordello recently hosted Star War Burlesque, which is exactly what it sounds like, nerds: HOT BOBA FETT ACTION. Hit the link for more of photographer Shannon Cottrell's fantastic photos of the event, including an upsetting Jabba the Hutt costume. Additional, marginally NSFYW photos here.

(thanks, Danielle!)

Is it just me or does it look like "Jabba" there got The Joker's head stuck on by mistake?

Reminds me of what my nephews used to do once they figured out you could swap the heads on their GI Joe action figures.

It's like one of those optical illusions that really looks like two different things at the same time... And your perception just sort of flips it back and forth.

You see one thing, then you see the other. But your brain just can't see them both at the same time...

I think that's the nerd part of my brain and the sex part of my brain working against each other. Fascinating. A little disorienting.

A chick in a C3PO mask is the opposite of sexy.

Yeah, C3PO is creeptastic. And is anyone else like "WTF? I don't wanna see pics of the fucking band!"

@10, plus they didn't even have the courtesy to dress up as the Max Rebo Band. If you're going have a theme, you better commit to it fully.

Tattoos are so unattractive.

On men they look stupid, on women, they look shitty.
