The NHL's answer to Chewbacca met the genuine article.
San Jose Sharks defenseman Brent Burns, known for his wookie-length beard and hair, tweeted a photo from a family vacation to Disney World.
The photo was with both his literal family, son Jagger and daughter Peyton, and his "family," meaning the big guy from the "Star Wars" franchise.
Burns, who famously donned a Chewbacca mask during the Breakaway challenge at the 2016 NHL All-Star Game, is wearing Yoda ears this time around and a T-shirt with Storm Troopers on it and looking very much at home.
