We all know May 4 is a special day for Star Wars fans. However, on March 28, 2016 the Star Wars storm troopers made a surprise appearance at the Easter Egg Roll at the White House.
Anna Wilding captured the Storm Troopers again at the White House on December 18 2015 when Star Wars Storm Troopers came again for a special screening of the new Star Wars movie with Gold Star families and First Lady Michelle Obama. You can see Anna in news footage at the time in the White House briefing room.
"I don't want you to think it's all fun at the WHite House. It's not. A lot of serious work goes on that can be exhausting at times..The Obama's worked very hard and so did everyone there. However every now and then lighter moments prevail , part of service to the public on celebratory days such as Easter Egg Roll."

Anna Wilding's photography and artwork hangs in private & institutional collections. Anna Wilding is a leading solo exhibiting photo doc, fine art, and street photographer and artist, a former White House news and photo doc photographer, and award winning, film and music video producer director and actor. This particular image was not included in the Celebrate Hope Obama Collection exhibit but is one of many fine and unique images that did not make the final cut simply, as it didn't inform as much as other images to the overall arch and reach of the exhibit. That is not to distract from this great photographic image of a young President Obama in his element.
