Stormtroopers celebrate Star Wars Day with Presidential dance party

WASHINGTON, DC — The President and the First Lady celebrated Star Wars Day with a dance party.

The White House tweeted this video of President Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama dancing with Star Wars Stormtroopers-- and the beloved robot, R2-D2-- while Bruno Mars and Mark Ronson's song "Uptown Funk"  played in the background.

This is not the first time the first couple has enjoyed something related to Star Wars.

Back in December, the White house hosted a special screening of "The Force Awakens" for Gold Star families. Those are families who've lost loved ones to combat or service-related injuries.
