The surprise is strong with this one.
John Boyega, arguably the breakout star of Star Wars: The Force Awakens, surprised diehard fans of the film by popping up in theaters across New York City on opening night.
The actor as well as Disney posted videos and pictures of fans reacting to seeing the Stormtrooper IRL.
