The Opener is titled Star Wars Episode 50: Mission Super Bowl.
Here are the opening credits.
After months of fighting, the patriotic forces of Lord Brady discover the resistance led by commander Manning in Denver.
Meanwhile, Captain Newton's troops are preparing to attack master Palmer's home Arizona...
Fittingly they make New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady the dark and evil Darth Vader. Brady's "forces" meet Commander Manning(Luke Skywalker) in Denver. This makes the Broncos the good guys and the Patriots the bad guys.
Pretty fitting if you ask me!
