As a lifelong fan of both the Oakland A’s and the Star Wars franchise, I always enjoy seeing the two intertwine. In recent years, the A’s have embraced the Star Wars theme at least once each summer for one of their fireworks nights, usually accompanied by plenty of cosplay during the opening ceremonies and throughout the night in the stands.
