Shu-Torun counter-bore waltz

"Please be upstanding for Lord Vader. And begin the stately Shu-torun counter-bore waltz."

- Trios orders the dance to begin in the Abyssal Rooms

The Shu-torun counter-bore waltz' was a stately dance performed by the human natives of the planet Shu-torun. It involved couples twirling together with their arms outstretched, with the man switching between facing his body away from, and towards the woman. The woman would wear glowing spheres on the ends of her fingers, which would create trails of light as the couple spun. When the Sith Lord Darth Vader visited Shu-torun, the King of Shu-torun encouraged his ore-dukes to take part in ceremonious ball in his palace's Abyssal Rooms, which included the dance, as it helped them to feel involved in the Imperial visited. Princess Trios ordered the dance begin as she and Vader entered the room, and explained its importance to Vader when he claimed it was unnecessary. The dance was interrupted when Vader refused to dance with the daughter of Duke Rubix, and twirled the duke in the air using the Force when he continued to insist. Vader was then attacked by a number of the king's men, causing the other guests to flee and putting an end to the dance.

Behind the scenes
