The Force Is Not Strong With This Olympic Mogul Skier

Why would Star Wars' imperial walkers target, of all people, Olympic mogul skiers?! Are the AT-ATs envious of the athlete's two-legged agility? Do the all-terrain transports want the gold medal for themselves?

The motive behind the AT-AT Olympic attack of 2014 will remain a mystery, but the memory of the strike will live on, thanks to the expert skills of YouTube user Natholdetpaatv2, who captured the event on film and edited the affair with perfection.

Watch the cleverly edited Sochi 2014/Star Wars mashup below — it's a video that wins the gold medal in giggle inducement. There's nothing like a little laser-blast attack to get you back in the Olympic spirit.
