This time last week, North Carolina was celebrating “National Superheros Day” by tweeting out a photoshopped movie poster featuring Larry Fedora as X-Men’s Wolverine.
Seven days later, it’s Star Wars Day across the vast expanses of the Internet -- “May the Fourth be with you,” “may the force be with you;" get it? -- and all kinds of celebrities and sports teams are getting in on the fun a few months ahead of the seventh installment of the mega-successful space saga being released. UNC, of course, has gotten in on the social media craze, and decided to add a couple of buddies to their latest creation involving their head football coach.
So, it's National Star Wars Day, Carolina-style! May the Fourth be with you. @CoachFedora, @BubbaUNC pic.twitter.com/YKAxvqXVy6

Fedora, of course, plays Luke Skywalker in the poster. The other three are athletic director Bubba Cunningham as Obi Wan Kenobi; new defensive coordinator and former Auburn head coach Gene Chizik as Han Solo; and wide receivers coach Gunter Brewer as Yoda.
And, hopefully, you’ll sleep a little better tonight being informed of this development...
