Chewbacca Jerseys To Highlight ‘Star Wars Day’ At Minor League Ball Park

The Toledo Mud Hens will be wearing Chewbacca jerseys this May for “Star Wars Day” at Fifth Third Field in Ohio.

The team celebrates “Star Wars Weekend” every year but the organization is especially excited for this year’s event due to the upcoming movie.

The Toledo Hens will wear the Chewbacca jerseys on May 4 for the “May the Fourth Be With You” celebration and then against on Sunday for “Revenge of the Fifth.”

According to Toledo News Now, the Chewbacca jerseys will be auctioned off at the end of each game for charity.

The team writes on Milb.com: “Some of the Mud Hens have been playing professional baseball for years, but during the first weekend in May they’ll all be Wookiees! See the Hens in their special edition Chewbacca-inspired jerseys on Saturday, May 4 and Sunday, May 5. The jerseys will be available for purchase during the games via a silent auction.”

Star Wars fans will also get to meet characters from the movie like Darth Vader, Princess Leia and a bunch of Storm Troopers, and have their pictures taken at the Star Wars costume photo booth. Oh, and who can forget the mega-kazoo giveaway.

This isn’t the only Chewbacca sighting recently. The warrior wookie ran into his old pal Hans Solo earlier this month on Jimmy Kimmel Live.
