[VIDEO] Darth Vader Plays Traditional Ukrainian Folk Instrument!

2^min

The Internet Party of Ukraine, which aims at creating an electronic government, released a political broadcast starring Darth Vader playing a traditional stringed instrument native to the country.

The Internet Party of Ukraine has been around since 2010 and clearly understands the principal of creating a viral ad!

The bizarre broadcast features Darth Vader strumming a bucolic version of the 'Imperial March' from The Empire Strikes Back on the bandura, a traditional Ukrainian instrument.

The party is actually fielding Darth Vader as the official candidate of the party in presidential elections. In other broadcasts Darth Vader is seen on Kiev's Independence Square surrounded by storm troopers during the protests which took place there earlier this year.

An attempt last March to field the Sith lord as a presidential candidate was unsuccessful when he was rejected by the election commission; a plot worthy of the Star Wars prequels!

Here's the original video to spark your memory!
