Just when we thought ice planet Hoth had mostly melted and the Rebel Alliance had driven the Galactic Empire out of our neck of the woods, we've received this disturbing photograph of Stormtroopers attempting to overtake one of our last remaining subway token booth clerks. Not to scaremonger, but a probe droid was also spotted, and things have been eerily quiet on Jabba the Hutt's end. We knew this Audi wasn't really covered in ice because of a silly water main break. Anyway, has anyone seen Chewbacca—the only one dressed for this weather?
