A look behind-the-scenes *

In this video the Star Wars character Darth Vader takes on the role of orchestra conductor. But instead of a baton the big baddie uses a light saber to lead the ensemble in — what else? — the “Empire” theme from Star Wars.

Thankfully, the stage manager gave the musicians plenty of room from the podium; an accidentally brush with a light saber would be disastrous, even deadly. It’s powerful energy beam can slice through virtually anything.

One cannot help but wonder — given Vader’s leanings towards darkness, evil deeds and general nastiness — what the real story might be.

An exclusive

The Galactic Empire has vast resources. Personnel are expendable and easily replaced.

With a wave of the finger or a strike of the light saber, dissenters are quickly silenced. The poor fool who clams in this orchestra receives no mercy from the podium.

We have captured an exclusive, behind-the-scenes look.
