Star Wars fans who have lifted more lightsabers than baseball bats will still have a reason to head out to AT&T Park in San Francisco on September 4th. The game between the Giants and the Diamondbacks also happens to be Star Wars Day, and they have lots of cool stuff in store for the crowd.
There will be a costume contest, a viewing of The Empire Strikes Back after the game and a souvenir statuette of pitcher Brian Wilson encased in carbonite. Not surprisingly, you can already score one of the figures on eBay for a premium price if you can’t attend the game.
If you can attend, by all means try and get your hands on some tickets now. It seems like it will be a lot of fun.
