Fans will each receive a Met T-shirt featuring Luke Skywalker and Princess Leia.And with every ticket sold, the team will donate $5 to Stand Up To Cancer, a group devoted to funding medical breakthroughs.With Darth Vader joining Stormtroopers in promoting the Blu-Ray release of �The Star Wars Saga� the following day, Met fans are encouraged to dress up as Jedi, Ewoks and Sith Lords.There will also be �Star Wars� trivia played during the baseball game, with movie-related prizes awarded.
