These whiskey-swillingStormtroopersare taking Instagram by, errr, storm.

They crack open bottles, defend their alcohol from evil forces and even dance likeMichael Jacksonin a series of wonderful images that their own Dark Lord, the Scotch Trooper, posted online.

The 37-year-old web developer from Atlanta, Georgia, began adding “Star Wars” characters to his whiskey pictures around two years ago.

And his impressive work is now going viral:

Some nights call for a new dram and a story from a long time ago in a galaxy far far away... or from Islay. #laphroaiglore #islay #starwarsblackseries #starwars #laphroaig

Scotch Trooper, whose real name is Brett, refused to reveal his full identity to The Huffington Post -- perhaps in keeping with the anonymity of his images' stars.

But he did saythe project came about organically, through combining two of the things he loves -- "Star Wars" and whiskey.

"Never tell me the odds." Nothing better than unboxing a new bottle. Even one you have had many times before. #StarWars #Macallan #TheMacallan #macallan12
