As you may have have heard, Star Wars: The Force Awakens hits theaters this week, and it’s expected to do bring in a buck or two for Disney, J.J. Abrams and company.
Never one to let a trend go un-exploited Kim Kardashian thought it would be a good time to remind the world of how the Force brought her and her husband together:
Long before Kim and Kanye West got married and brought two oddly-names little tykes into the world they were a couple of up-and-comers who ran in the same social circle.
In 2008, when Kanye still had a sense of humor, he and rapper Rhymefest pitched a sketch comedy show called Alligator Boots to MTV.
The series was never picked up, but the pilot gave us the glory of Kim in a Princess Leia costume and Kanye dressed as a stormtrooper.
“In honor of ‘Star Wars: The Force Awakens’ being released today, I wanted to share these old pics of Kanye and me from years ago!” Kim wrote on her website today.
“We worked together on a pilot for a show called ‘Alligator Boots’ back in 2008 and I played Princess Leia.
“We had met before this project (back in 2003), but I would say this is when we first really connected. These pics are SO funny!”
We don’t know about SO funny, but they’re pretty amusing. Khloe as Chewbacca and Kris as Darth Vader definitely would’ve taken things to the next level.
