Kanye West’s Failed Pilot Had Kim Kardashian Star Wars Roleplay Fantasy

After watching this recently discovered behind-the-scenes footage—which includes Stormtrooper Kanye acting on his Star Wars role playing fantasy with Kim Kardashian as Princess Leia and a puppet named Beary White—you'll wish it had.
