A STAR Wars-themed Elvis tribute band are set to go from stage to screen.

Aberdeen band Darth Elvis and the Imperials are being filmed by Channel 5 for a Star Wars fandom documentary.

Frontman Greig Robertson, 37, said: “We play in full costume.

“The drummer is dressed as a storm trooper, the guitarist is Darth Maul, the bass player is a TIE fighter pilot and I’m Darth Elvis – a Sith-themed Elvis.

“The year Elvis died, 1977, is the same year that the first Star Wars film came out so, putting the pieces together, he didn’t actually die, he turned to the dark side of the force.”

The idea for the band came when Greig, a huge Star Wars and Elvis fan, was given a painting of Darth Elvis for his birthday.

Darth Elvis and his band are now set to star in the Channel 5 documentary about Star Wars fans.

The film crews will be in Aberdeen on Monday and Tuesday next week.
