Sure, Why Not?: Star Wars Opening Crawl Escalator

December 12, 2011 / $10 says george is emailing a cease and desist order even as i type this, because stairs are hard, i don't trust those things, i remember going to to the mall and holding on to the escalator handrail from the outside and having it drag you up until you're too afraid of going any higher and letting go, iconic, movies, moving stairs, star wars

This is an escalator spotted in Tel Aviv, Israel with the Star Wars opening crawl from the original movie painted on it. Why? No clue, but the one next to it has some space bubbles and stars on it, so that's something. Granted not something as cool as someone's shoelaces getting caught and watching them panic, but I've seen that IRL before and it was awesooooooome.

Hit the jump for a crappy video of the escalator doing its thing while a girl awkwardly hums the theme song.

    That's not humming..

  • That is awesome. Makes me want to go and spray paint all the escalators in my town... As for the video. I can't make fun of the girl too much because I would have probably done the same thing had I come across it. 

  • They are showing way too fast though
