Entertainment TV Kim Kardashian West Reveals She and Kanye 'First Really Connected' Because of 'Star Wars' The pair costarred in a Star Wars-themed sketch for an unaired TV show in 2008 By Andrea Park Published on December 18, 2015 02:15 PM Share Tweet Pin Email Photo: Courtesy Kim Kardashian Star Wars has a way of bringing people together – even the stars themselves. Kim Kardashian West revealed on Friday that she has the fantasy franchise to thank for creating a spark between her and husband Kanye West. In a post on her website titled “Happy Star Wars Day!” Kardashian West shares photos of her and West dressed in full Star Wars garb for the pilot of an unaired show. “In honor of ‘ Star Wars: The Force Awakens‘ being released today, I wanted to share these old pics of Kanye and me from years ago!” she writes. “We worked together on a pilot for a show called ‘Alligator Boots’ back in 2008 and I played Princess Leia. We had met before this project (back in 2003), but I would say this is when we first really connected.” The Keeping Up with the Kardashians star, 35, adds, “These pics are SO funny!” RELATED VIDEO: Force Fun!

The producer of the sketch, Naomi Scott, spoke to Bustle in September about sensing the obvious chemistry between the A-list pair while they were filming. “I was there, the moment they met in the room,” Scott said. “[Kanye] was enamored with her from the very second he said [Kim] name.”
