Having just exercised our right to go broke at the Pink Godzilla mini-store on this year's PAX 2008 showfloor, we were surprised and elated to turn around and see Darth Vader and a merry band of Stormtroopers taking the stage to play Alanis Morissette's "You Oughta Know" on Rock Band 2, with vocals being handled by some unknown non-cosplayer. Apologies for the quality, as the moment was rather impromptu, but we had to share this with you.

Thanks for posting this video. I'm the trooper on the drums. It was hard for us to hear and see so we did our best, it was a lot of fun and the crowd was great for cheering us on.

The person you call "some unknown non-cosplayer" is actually Harmonix's own John Lok.

I wish a better song had been chosen.. But it was GREAT fun. Harmonix was Great, really wanted us up there. (The Guitar Hero guys didn't seem too interested) The other Stormtroopers had never played the game before, so had no clue what to do. I had before, but it wasn't easy trying to actually play the Guitar, watch the screen in the full costume.
GREAT fun though. I loved it. :)
