From the folks that brought you “Boobs and Goombas: a Super Mario Burlesque,” “Gleeks & Freaks (A Glee Burlesque Musical)” and “Fellowship of the Boobs” comes a burlesque take on the granddaddy of all sci-fi franchises, now in pasties and G-strings.

And spoiler alert: if you’re wondering what R2D2 will look like, it’s where you put old newspapers!

If you’re a Trekkie, don’t fret, coming in September at the Gorilla Tango Theatre is “Boobs of Khan: a Star Trek Burlesque.”

A long time ago…in a galaxy…far…far…away

…in a discotheque…circa 1977…

Gorilla Tango’s Geek Girl Burlesque presents:a NUDE HOPE: a STAR WARS BURLESQUE

A sexually frustrated farmer, Luke Skywalker, is longing to rescue the luscious Princess Leia, prisoner of the sadomasochistic villain, Darth Vader. They’ll need some help along the way from a few malfunctioning droids, a rouge she-hunk named Han Solo and a Wookie companion (who never wears pants!) to rescue her heiney-ness. Of course, along to guide them is the senile but sensual Obi-Wan-Kenobi. Join this motley crew of geek girls as they take you on a burlesque parody journey of bad haircuts, oddly sexy aliens, cheap special effects, and disco groves. Don’t make us FORCE you to come!

Help us Star Wars geeks/burlesque lovers… you’re our only hope…for partial nudity.
