Weird marketing: Snoop Dogg pimps Star Wars sneakers
New York's got a rep as a tough town, but who knew stars need stormtroopers to walk through Times Square?
Well, whether Snoop Dogg needed them or not, they were by his side when he hit the Times Square Foot Locker to help promote the new Star Wars line of sneakers from Adidas.
Techland was there when the stormtroopers marched north from 34th Street along with Lord Vader himself, and managed to capture the scene in the video below.
We wish we could have been there!

Please. Darth Vader and the Storm Troopers weren't there to protect Snoop Dogg. It was the other way around.

They were making the best photo op since Gary Coleman, David Hasslehoff, and the KIT car from Knight Rider, that's what they were doing. I NEED the video on this crap work computer to quit being blocked so I can watch this immediately, if not sooner.
Also, bye life savings. Hello Star Wars Adidas.
"the force is strong with this one, ya dig?"
"I am your dogg-father"
ugh.... That could go on forever.

Vader would totally kick the lil wangstas butt!!!

@mikey v
While there are many that could be called "wangsta" Snoop is not one of them. He'd shotgun a blunt into Vader's mask and they'd both blow up planets stoned.

Fook. I remember when Darth Vader was evil and evoked a feeling of dread. Now he's a punchline and a puppy.

I will not be buying any of this Adidas shite...
Star Wars are for nerds, not for Chavs. I will kill Lucas if I see Vader or any troopers wearing Burberry!
