The Philadelphia 76ers are having a Star Wars Night on Friday when they host the Detroit Pistons. Naturally, they did Chewbacca impressions for the occasion. Here, Hollis Thompson, Tony Wroten, Nik Stauskas and Richaun Holmes give it a shot:
Thompson's is obviously the best of the bunch. Also, I'm stunned by Stauskas here. It's extremely rare to hear someone ask, "What's a Chewbacca?" Philadelphia's Star Wars Night looks pretty serious, by the way:
Sixers Dancers will perform a Star Wars inspired dance routine in Princess Leia and R2-D2 themed costumes. The Sixers Phlight Squad, performing in Jedi attire, will dunk over Storm Troopers to a mix of iconic Star Wars music. The game will commence upon Princess Leia’s (Sixers Dance Team member Jemila) singing of the National Anthem, prior to the opposing team’s introduction by Darth Vader to the music of “The Imperial March” (“Darth Vader’s Theme”). Fans can take selfies with Star Wars characters and character cut-outs on a Star Wars decorated concourse, complete with lightsaber balloons. Fans are encouraged to wear Star Wars costumes for the chance to win a costume contest.
The Phoenix Suns and New Orleans Pelicans are also hosting Star Wars Nights on Friday, while the Detroit Pistons have one on Saturday, the Minnesota Timberwolves have one on Tuesday and the Atlanta Hawks have one on Wednesday. The Milwaukee Bucks got theirs out of the way already. At what point is this too much?
