Love is a strong force.

With the new Star Wars movie hype in full swing, this Star Wars parody sketch of Kanye and Kim West has surfaced on The Daily Beast and according to reports, it was the first time the couple official met.

The two were brought together for a Comedy Central pilot show called ‘Alligator boots‘, which Kayne hosted back in 2008. It has been described as a hip-hop puppet show that saw Kanye acting alongside rapping puppets.

As part of the new show, Kanye wanted to bring on a then relatively unknown Kim Kardashian to the show to play the part of a scantily clad Princess Leia, while he would be dressed as a Stormtrooper, for a Star Wars parody.

It was actually the first time the couple had ever met and Kim recently told the Hollywood Reporter that she felt a spark between the pair.

“When I first met him, we worked on a project together,” Kim said, “There was definitely a spark, but we were in other relationships and we kept our distance, and that was that…It was this pilot that didn’t come to fruition.”
