A stadium full of soccer fans in Stormtrooper masks staged a flare-filled ‘Star Wars’ chant

The hype for the new Star Wars movie is real. On Wednesday, fans of CSKA Sofia in Bulgaria staged a stadium-wide rendition of the “Imperial March” theme before a game, with each fan wielding a Stormtrooper mask. Plus, there was a huge, menacing Darth Vader banner sitting neatly in the middle of the stands. As far as I know, lyrics don’t exist in the “Imperial March” theme, but they chanted some in its melody anyway:

For the most part, it was a pretty good rendition ... and then it was literally LIT:

WHAT.

HOLY CRAP, Y’ALL REALLY WANNA SEE THE FORCE AWAKENS.

The only thing missing is an effigy of Jar Jar Binks.
