Picture of the Day: Darth Vader and the Empire Marches On Seoul
People dressed head-to-toe as Darth Vader and storm troopers, characters of the film “Star Wars,” pose for a photo during a publicity event, held by Japanese retailer Uniqlo, in Seoul on May 4, 2015. The “Star Wars Day” event originated from the English expression from the movie, “May the Force be with you,” which sounds like “May the Fourth.” (Yonhap)
Is there no irony in a Japanese retailer sponsoring an oppressive occupying imperial army inspired by Japanese film to invade Korea?
LOTS of irony. But some folks aren’t equipped to perceive or appreciate it… 🙂
