Star Wars is (sort of) coming to the Super Bowl.

Star Wars Funday Football will be a real-time, animated telecast of Super Bowl LXI that will animate the players as Star Wars characters, just before the original cut returns to theaters on February 19th.

Anthony Daniels will voice C-3PO, and it’ll stream live on the Disney Channel and Disney Plus. Will it be weird? Judge for yourself with this Simpsons version in 2024, or other versions for the Australian Open, NBA, and NHL.
