It was Star Wars Night at the American Airlines Center on Monday. Some would say that was the only redeeming quality from a game that saw two starters get injured and the Mavericks lose by double digits. Maybe Star Wars Night was to blame for all of that.
Sadly, the video hasn't been posted yet, but there were still plenty of opportunities for ridiculous photos and vines. Here are some Mandalorians posing for a photo.

Stormtroopers were in the Mavericks' huddle. He looks a little short for a stormtrooper, but the real question is can he play center?
R2D2 made an appearance.
This was the very first thing I saw as I walked into the building, just about.

It was also an excuse to make as many Star Wars jokes on Twitter as possible.
In 6 movies, storm troopers shot 9 million shots and hit like 3 things. In which way they're like Ray Felton

Just waiting for Monta to come back more powerful than the Clippers could have possibly imagined.

Demerits for the prequels reference. RT @jga41agher: Tyson down. Monta down. I see Doc's strategy. pic.twitter.com/TW8FReqzyY

In honor of Star Wars night, Rick Carlisle elects to start an Ewok at point guard.

If only Admiral Ackbar could have warned the Mavericks about the game itself -- "It's a trap!" Maybe things would have worked out better.
