‘Star Wars’ meets Sochi in hilarious mashup

Feb 13, 2014, 12:00 PM | Updated: 9:03 pm

Take a quick 26 seconds out of your day to have a few laughs with the following video.

The Winter Olympics are pitted against “Star Wars” in a video posted to YouTube on Wednesday.

The clip begins with a downhill skier who suddenly faces an onslaught of fire from a “Star Wars” vehicle — one which is officially called an AT-AT Walker, which is commonly associated with the planet Hoth.

Let’s just say the skier(s) doesn’t hold up too well against the blasts. The video even cuts to the appropriate reactions of Olympic coaches to what’s happening on the slopes.

It’s a short watch, but it’s sure to make your day a little brighter.
