Watch: Myles Turner rocks Han Solo cosplay in his return for Pacers against Hornets on NBA Star Wars night

Indiana Pacers center Myles Turner showed off his fanboy and nerdy side as he dressed up as a Star Wars character before the game. Turner is an avid fan of the famed pop-culture movie series and characters. Aside from playing ball, he's known to satisfy his fanboy cravings at home.

Turner walked into the arena dressed as Han Solo, a fictional character created by George Lucas in the Star Wars franchise. He walked with his girlfriend, dressed as Princess Leia. Both characters were love interests in the franchise and still have a strong following from the fans.

The center got dressed for the NBA's Star Wars night. The Pacers will take on the Charlotte Hornets tonight.

Take a look at the video to see the two capture the attention.

Fans were amazed with how the two executed their costumes accurately. This isn't the first time Turner went to a game cosplaying a Star Wars character. Last year, during the league's Star Wars night, he gained social media's attention when he arrived at the arena dressed up as The Mandalorian.

His sister, My'a, helped him as she walked with his older brother wearing an Ahsoka Tano costume. With them are a few friends of Turner who dressed up as Tusken Raiders, one of them being the center's manager.
