ESPN2 to Air Star Wars Halloween Special Today.
It will be a half-hour episode, airing Oct. 30 at 7:30 p.m., and will feature characters like Han Solo, Boba Fett, Yoda, Darth Vader, R2D2, Chewbacca and C-3PO. Also there will be a special appearance by Chopper from Star Wars Rebels…
From THR:
ESPN2 is going all out, revamping the SportsNation set to look like the Millennium Falcon. The special will highlight sports clips under Star Wars-inspired categories, such as “Best Jedi Mind Trick” and “Most Unstoppable Skywalkers,” as well as premiere an exclusive sneak peek at an upcoming Star Wars Rebels episode.
One can only wonder if this will have the same fate as the “famous” Holiday Special from 1978. đ

Ohhhhh, crap.
Seriously i wanted to write the post above me in those exact words.
“One can only wonder if this will have the same fate as the âfamousâ Holiday Special from 1978. :)”
You mean The Star Wars Halloween Special? Oh boy. Somebody secure George Lucas… o_0
this “teaser” did a very poor job establishing what this special is actually about.
Is it like a series of statistics and sports-style analyses on the movies? Or is it seriously thirty minutes of this strange woman wandering around a studio building that’s overrun with a bunch of cos-players who got the wrong address?
lame.
I hope Carrie Fisher sings a song.
It’s too bad how close minded nerds are about sports.
You mean “Ball Worship”? No thanks. I have very little interest in what overpaid millionaires do with their balls.

Nerdstuff has gone mainstream; we should be more open to sports.
