Passersby nonchalent about Star Wars characters walking by their side

I don't know why there is so much hype surrounding Star Wars. We see Star Wars characters everywhere. In posters, in your McDonalds Happy Meals (TM) and Galaxy Burgers, on your M&Ms wrappers, walking down Orchard Road scaring kids, and so on. George Lucas has created the ultimate merchandising machine.

But you only see people dressed as the cool characters. No one ever dresses as an ewok or Ben Quadinaros. Only as the guys who are so evil they strike fear into you from far even though they never utter a word throughout the whole movie.

And so we have instantly-recognizable movie icons walking down the street here.
Even though they're dressed as super bad guys, no one cares, and the police certainly don't care either unless they draw light sabers and start clubbing kids on the head in public.

Any would-be terrorist would have an easy job should they wish to infiltrate Cineleisure Orchard and plant a thermite bomb there.

All they have to do is dress up as a stormtrooper and walk right into the building, plant the bomb, and look at the crowd cheer as they think it's all part of the script.

Woo... that's a good idea. I mean, to be frank, a terrorist planning to bomb SG cineleisure is is less probable that a Terrorist attempting to Bomb Odeon (London Broadway street) Cinema, UK. Now that's an idea a true terrorist will twist for better projects.

Haahaaa...they just walking from Lido to Orchard Cineleisure to attend to an assignment there lah. ;) With the kind of timing 20th Century Fox gave the Movie Mania Group that can be only 30 mins between locations, guess just easier to walk than to "Unsuit" and then "Resuit" again.

Anyway, Singapore should be used to it already as the Fans do it every 3 years....for SW that is! :P
