> Super Bowl LXI set in the Star Wars galaxy and featuring characters from across the Lucasfilm franchise

ESPN will redraw every play of Super Bowl LXI as a Star Wars cartoon, in real time, using player tracking data. Anthony Daniels is back as C-3PO. The Toy Story version won Emmys, so I’ll stop short of calling it a gimmick, but it really feels like we are in the age of "fuck it, why not?"

Here in the UK, we get it on demand on Disney+ shortly after the game, not live. I’ll probably watch ten minutes of it.
