As you’re likely aware, the Mets had Star Wars night last night to celebrate the release of the 6-part series on Blu-Ray. They did a very good job with it, considering they only announced it a week or two ago. I started a hashtag on Twitter yesterday called #MetsStarWarsQuotes, and I’ll mix in some of the funny ones between the pictures below. Also check out Mediagoon’s coverage on the event over at Metspolice today.
The free T-shirt pick up was in the bullpen plaza, so that’s where I headed first. The Star Wars guys were doing a costume contest with kids, and were there when I arrived with Mr. Met.
More after the break.

The new and improved Kiss Cam
Here’s Mr. Mets and Darth Vader with the winner of the costume contest.
Other things: They occasionally played Star Wars clips for hits/strikeouts.
They occasionally played some Star Wars music while the pitcher was warming up between innings.
There were two R.A. Dickey Star Wars scenes. I’ll leave those to Mediagoon because I think he got better video of it than me. In one, Dickey tries to convince Darth Vader to join him, and in the other he berates some Storm Troopers.
