The Braves created a “Star Wars” video featuring a Stormtrooper chasing a drone through The Battery and into SunTrust Park to celebrate May 4, known as Star Wars Day (”May the fourth be with you,” to borrow from the movies’ famous line) to many fans of the series of films.

A Braves player who is a noted “Star Wars” fan reveals himself near the end of the video. Watch below to find out who it is.

In addition to commemorating Star Wars Day, the video also promotes Star Wars Night at SunTrust Park. Fans who purchased a special ticket package can get an exclusive bobblehead and participate in a “Star Wars” costume parade around the field before the game.
