Stormtroopers Come to Work at WPDH for ‘Star Wars Day’

In honor of the unofficial Star Wars holiday that is "May the Fourth," the Boris and Robyn Show decided to hire a couple of real-life stormtroopers for the day. Let's just say it didn't end well.

Gerrit Overeem and Tyler Brinckerhoff of the 501st Legion were kind enough to join us in the studio and help celebrate all things Star Wars. The 501st is a group of costuming enthusiasts who, with George Lucas' blessing, host fundraisers and events for charities throughout the Hudson Valley.

These aren't costumes that you can just pick up at a halloween store, though. Members of the 501st Legion spend thousands of dollars and countless hours making sure every single detail of their stormtrooper uniforms are "camera perfect." This means that when they go out into the public, you're seeing an exact replica of the actual stormtroopers that appear on screen.

While stormtroopers may be equipped for battle, we found out that they really don't have the skills needed for the workplace. Check out what happened when we decided to put them to work in our offices.
