The video was taken while riding Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance, and while it is not clear if it was taken at Disneyland Resort or Disney’s Hollywood Studios in Walt Disney World Resort, it has received almost a million views, 246.4K likes and over a thousand comments since it was posted yesterday.
In the video, Guests are taken aback after seeing two Stormtroopers smooching in the cockpit of an AT-AT, and we can even hear a Guest screaming, “They’re kissing!” as the vehicle moves away from the romantic scene.
This sudden change in the attraction seems too bold and sudden to be true, and that is because it isn’t. Peter France (@peterjfrance), the user who posted the video on TikTok, happens to be an artist who describes his account as “Some kinda 3D art type situation,” meaning he has skills in animation and video editing, which is the case with this hilarious scene.
The video quickly gathered some hilarious reactions, like the one from @imakethangs, who commented:
Finally a trooper who shoots their shot and hits the target!
User @sweetstxrt added:

And @macie_lorraine66 commented:

Sadly for Macie and all the viewers of this video, the scene was simply the result of impressive audio and video editing skills and an artist’s creative mind.
The video was also shared on Twitter by jess (@paradeofdreams), who comments she screeched when she first saw it, later adding that “these rise edits take me OUT.”
On Twitter, user @colesinglerr responded to the video, commenting, “GAY RIGHTS,” and @nerdfighterliv added, “I love the b show!”
We recently saw a similar incident happen at Pirates of the Caribbean, where a Guest convinced everyone that he had exited the attraction’s boat and was walking around one of the scenes. You can read more about that story here.
