Different strokes for different folks I suppose.

As I’ve often stated I’m not a fan of Star Wars so I can’t say I’ve ever fetishized the force in any way but I’m 100% certain that nerds all over the world have, so there’s definitely an audience for this. And it makes sense that it would come to Toronto since we are the center of the universe.

According to its website

A burlesque parody show in a galaxy far, far away

Experience a unique blend of seduction and sci-fi as The Empire Strips Back takes you on a journey to the dark side! This tantalizing burlesque experience brings your favorite characters to life with loving detail and humor that will leave you laughing and swooning at the same time.

Your favorite characters… with a spicy twist!

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.

Tickets range from $45 to over $100 and after taking a quick look at their website tickets are selling out fast.

So if the idea of a light saber being used for something other than its intended purpose is appealing to you, you might want to grab your tickets at warp speed or some other bad space theme pun.
