Japanese Army Uses 3,500 Tons Of Snow To Create Massive Star Wars Sculpture For Snow Festival
Some dedicated Star Wars fans in Japan have just created what may be the most epic pieces of Star Wars art that I’ve ever seen.
The Japanese Ground Self-Defense Forces’ 11th Brigade used bulldozers to move 3,500 tons of snow into a pile that they then carefully crafted into a 23m-wide and 15m-tall epic monument to Darth Vader and his Imperial forces, complete with an imposing posse of Storm Troopers and TIE fighters. The epic sculpture was part of the 66th annual Sapporo Snow Festival.

SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO lucky to be heading down there tonight!!!!!!
HOWW???? I'm hopeless, I can't even make a proper snowball, it just splooshes out of my hand.
Right???? Just use that thing that holds a tennis ball that you fling. Pack some snow in it and swing. It works just as well, if not better.

Japan is constitutionally forbidden from having an army; lethal power notwithstanding they're called a Self-Defense Force for a reason. (Although PM Abe is doing everything he can to change them into a proxy army for the US...)
why are the Bino's backwards? or is that how Star Wars Binoculars work?
This is exactly what the Stormtroopers did in their spare time on Hoth.
