On May 4, Star Wars Day is celebrated around the world, so many athletes take the opportunity to star in funny publications related to one of the most important sagas in the history of cinema.

From MLB’s New York Yankees to Brazilian soccer’s Cruzeiro, several teams found a creative way to make their presence felt during the date dedicated to the famous Hollywood production.

Aaron Judge and Gerrit Cole answer a curious question about Star Wars

The Bronx team, in the midst of a streak of 11 wins in a row in the 2022 MLB season, posted a clip on social media where several players appear answering a curious question about the Star Wars universe.

“If you were a Jedi, what color would your lightsaber be?” was the question. Aaron Judge chose a purple lightsaber, while Gerrit Cole chose the color blue.

Aaron Rodgers in Obi Wan Kenobi Mode

Reigning NFL MVP Aaron Rodgers was another sports star who joined in the Star Wars Day festivities. The quarterback appeared in a Green Bay Packers’ post dressed as the famous character Obi Wan Kenobi, who is played in the movies by actor Ewan McGregor.

Cubs announce the date of their Mandalorian Night

The Chicago Cubs took the opportunity on May 4 to announce that they plan to celebrate Star Wars Night on August 8 at Wrigley Field, during the game against the Washington Nationals.

For this meeting, a limited number of fans will receive a Star Wars bobblehead as a gift.

Cruzeiro joins the Star Wars party

One of Brazil’s most popular soccer clubs, Cruzeiro, joined the social media trend of the moment with an image bearing arguably the most remembered phrase in all of Star Wars’ franchise: “I am your father”.

The Miami Heat, for its part, wants to bring its fans together with Imperial Army members in an image that depicts them as though they were watching the NBA Eastern Conference semifinals from the stands.
