Darth Abdullah - One was very amused.
Darth Abdullah - One was very amused. [video]
Earlier this week,King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia arrived at Buckingham Palace to meet the Queen, the military band decided to play him a rather unique welcome. Given Saudi Arabia’s horrendous human rights record (detailed to some extent in the remainder of the video), Darth Vader’s theme music seems rather appropriate. picked by Turtle 1 year ago

I like to imagine the queen having a private chuckle to herself as it was played out. So so pleased they did that.

Probably not but hopefully an aid might have noticed and pointed it out. It was incredible hypocrisy for British Government ministers to condemn the Burmese and Zimbabwean regimes while saying nothing about human rights abuses in Saudi Arabia. It just shows oil and arms sales seem to have bought the government's silence.
Maybe all it shows is that the Queen is a fan of Star Wars.

Next shot: Buckingham Palace exploding with the Millenium Falcon flying away quickly.
