With Sunday serving as a de facto holiday for Star Wars fanatics, the Arizona Diamondbacks have announced that the force is with them, as well.

The D-backs will commemorate the legendary science fiction and fantasy film series on July 20, when they host the Chicago Cubs at 1:10 p.m. MST at Chase Field.

Fans are encouraged to dress up in their favorite Star Wars entire, and characters — Luke Skywalker, Princess Leia, Darth Vader and Stormtroopers — from the famed series will participate in a pre-game parade.

Additionally, there are limited Star Wars Day packages available, which feature a Josh Collmenter Star Wars Bobblehead.
