May the Fourth be with you.
Thursday marked Star Wars Day, and with that, Arizona Sports’ Bickley & Marotta wanted to celebrate. The crew posed a Star Wars-themed question with a Valley sports twist, asking which movie characters best exemplified the best athletes that Arizona sports has to offer.

Player choices were Phoenix Suns guard Devin Booker, forward Kevin Durant and center Deandre Ayton; Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray; and Arizona Diamondbacks rookie outfielder Corbin Carroll.
Could this be the chosen one?
Some nicknames — like Grogu aka Baby Yoda for Murray — have already gravitated themselves via the way of the force:
Booker- Luke Skywalker
Kevin Durant- Han Solo
Ayton- Anakin Skywalker “you were the chosen one!”
Kyler- baby Yoda (too easy)
Corbin Carroll- Poe Damron— Mike (@mikeglangford) May 4, 2023

Kyler Murray – Finn. Under appreciated by the older crowd. Could be great if given a good script by the NFL/Lucasfilm
Corbin Carroll – Din Djarin/The Mandalorian. New guy on the block. Beloved by pretty much everyone who watches him. Has all the tools to be successful.— Corpse Sh*st* (@GrayCorpse) May 4, 2023
Booker – Luke in ROJ, becoming all powerful Jedi
KD – Kylo Ren: killer mentality, hates when people talk about him
CP3 – Obi Wan: old, wise, leaves at important times
Ayton – Jar Jar Binks: tall, lanky, drops everything, says weird stuff
K1 – Jawa: short
CC – Han Solo: swag
