They did Darth Vader proud.
Boogie Storm -- who were head judge Simon Cowell's golden buzzer act -- cut loose with a phenomenal performance, which showed the usually obedient servants of the Galactic Empire embrace their softer side.

6. Craig Ball's impressions of cartoon characters singing Miley Cyrus' "Wrecking Ball" landed him the sixth spot:
