'Obi-Wan Popovich' | Check out this incredible Popovich-Star Wars crossover

May the Silver and Black force be with you!

SAN ANTONIO — Have you ever wondered what it would look like if San Antonio Spurs head coach Gregg Popovich put on Jedi robes, picked up a lightsaber, and entered the Star Wars universe?

Well, wonder no more.

Austin, Texas storyteller, brand builder, and former photographer, Jay Sauceda, recently created a Texas-themed Star Wars universe featuring some of Texas' most famous people.

And Popovich made the cut.

He used an AI art digital generator to put Popovich into a Star Wars world and the final product is outstanding.

Popovich is depicted as Obi-Wan Kenobi, in the standard brown Jedi robes, and just like the character, is in the Texas desert. 

"Coach Pop felt like the right fit for Obi-Wan," Sauceda tweeted.

Popovich as Kenobi does make sense.

Both became wise teachers and joined the ranks of the greatest of all time. They also saw one of their promising students leave their side abruptly: Jedi Knight Anakin Skywalker and ex-Spurs forward Kawhi Leonard.

Sauceda also brought into the Texas-Star Wars universe other Texans such as Matthew McConaughey as Han Solo, the Dallas Cowboys as Stormtroopers, and Chewbacca as played by Willie Nelson.

What about other Spurs players as Star Wars characters?

Can you see Devin Vassell as Boba Fett? What about Keldon Johnson as Din Dijarin aka "The Mandalorian"? Or Jeremy Sochan as Grogu aka "Baby Yoda" or Tre Jones as R2-D2?

Let us know your Spurs-Star Wars crossover character ideas on Twitter at @KENS5 and @JeffGSpursZone and may the Force be with you.
