Kendrick Perkins has apparently been living under a rock when it comes to "Star Wars."
During the Cleveland Cavaliers' 116-86 win over the Boston Celtics in Game 3 of the Eastern Conference finals on Saturday, a fan dressed as Chewbacca was seen sitting courtside.

That led to a hilarious exchange between Perkins and Kevin Love, as relayed by ESPN's Dave McMenamin:
Kevin Love: “Are you going to go hang out with Chewbacca?”

Kendrick Perkins: “Who is that?”
(Love shows Perk a photo on his phone of Chewy sitting courtside at Game 3)
Perk: “Oh, I don’t really keep up with all that new stuff.”
Chewie, of course, has been a beloved character in the "Star Wars" franchise since the first film, "A New Hope," was released back in 1977.
