Princess Leia Endures 10 Hours of Harassment on NYC’s Mean Streets

Sadly, we are sorry to report that, given the opportunity, even Yoda himself isn’t above wolf-whistling.

Before every would-be Jedi Knight from a galaxy far, far away piles on, let’s be clear: This spoof pays good-natured respect to the viral video “10 Hours of Walking in NYC as a Woman,” tracking one resolute young woman’s highly eventful trek through New York City.

Since then, we’ve seen the inevitable “10 Hours of Walking in NYC as a Man,” skilfully manhandled by Funny or Die, as well as Stephen Zhang’s liquored-up Left Coast takeoff, “Drunk Girl In Public.”

See how she fares below for a little levity:
