Russia plays with ‘Star Wars Day’ and calls for the black side
he Russian embassy in England took advantage of the date, celebrated worldwide by the fans of the saga of the jedis, and ironized image of villain of the country
On the date that fans of the Star Wars films celebrate the episodes and characters of the franchise every year, Russian diplomats provoked an amusing controversy. The Russian Embassy in England published a picture of the villain Darth Vader with the message: ” Come to our side – follow us on Twitter on #StarWarsDay”, in reference to the “black side” Of force “.
The joke is an allusion to what would be the demonization of Russia by the West. The irony of the officials of the Russian representation received different manifestations. While many took to the sport and got into the mood, others responded to the post with disbelief and even fury.
In spite of the official character, the embassy usually publishes relaxed and satirical tweets on the most diverse subjects, like the image of a kitten that, when overturning a vase, accuses “Russians did it” and routine messages just wishing “Good morning!”.
