Hillary Clinton was a secret guest at the Tribeca Film Festival on Saturday and she appeared to have arrived straight off a Star Wars set.
Photos shared by fans show a pale Hillary slouching in a chair on the stage.

As filmmaker Kathryn Bigelow as upright in her chair, Clinton laid back, looking very pale and wearing something all black that looked like it was right out of “The Empire Strikes Back.”
Here’s a closer view, courtesy of Matt Carey:
It wasn’t just Carey’s camera. Even Tribeca’s own photo shows a sick-looking Hillary on stage:

She didn’t stand long enough to even acknowledge the audience, waving only after sitting down and being supported by a pillow.
According to The Wrap, Clinton was attending the festival to promote Bigelow’s virtual-reality short “The Protectors.”
“I had nothing to do with her being here,” Bigelow said after the event. “This was all the festival’s doing. But I know she’s been doing great work in this field for years, and she’s a woman of extraordinary power.”
