He -- if it's a he -- never seemed to get his due.

It's always been about the Big Three: Luke Skywalker, Han Solo and Princess Leia.

Not this weekend in Toledo, Ohio, where the Mud Hens -- the Detroit Tigers' Triple-A affiliate -- will wear Chewbacca-style jerseys for two games during a “Star Wars”-themed weekend.

The special jerseys coincide with “May the Fourth Be With You” on May 4 and “Revenge of the Fifth” the next day at Fifth Third Ballpark.

And when it's all over, the jerseys will be auctioned for charity and Chewbacca will finally have had his day.
