PHOENIX — Things will look a little out of this world Friday when the Phoenix Suns take on the Detroit Pistons at US Airways Center.

The team is hosting a “Star Wars”-themed night.

“We’re hoping that fans will come out dressed in ‘Star Wars’ uniforms and outfits themselves,” said Suns President Jason Rowley. “We’re going to have a costume contest for kids under 13.”

Rowley said about 60 characters from the science-fiction series will be walking around the arena and plaza for fans to take a picture with.

A small amount of tickets are still available.

We want to hear from you.
