It’s not just shows on Disney-owned channels that are getting some Star Wars love since the announcement that Lucasfilm had been acquired by the entertainment giant last year.On tomorrow’s episode of Community, series star Yvette Nicole Brown will appear dressed as Princess Leia in the show’s annual Halloween episode.Brown’s character, Shirley, has had problems every year so far. While season three didn’t really feature costumes (it was more a horror story anthology), the first two years saw the character dress as Harry Potter (and be mistaken for Steve Urkel) and as Glenda the Good Witch (and be mistaken for Miss Piggy). Much to her eternal shame, the latter caused her to emotionally connect with Chang, whose costume was similarly being mistaken all night long.Apparently she decided to avoid any such confusion this time around by dressing as a character who’s basically impossible to mistake for anyone else (because of the hair), although we’ll see how that works out since it’s entirely plausible Pierce has never heard of Star Wars.Granted, the delayed start to their season makes a Halloween episode seem rather strange–that’s why they’re advertising it as “Valloween,” tying together Valentine’s Day (which is tomorrow) with the Halloween show. Romance will apparently be in the air…as Troy and his mother-figure visit a senior citizen’s sex dungeon.That’s right, folks–we’re finally going to get to see Pierce’s mansion, and  from what this scene suggests, it’s just as terrifying as you would expect from the moist towelette magnate.This isn’t the first time Community has done Star Wars–they went all-out with it during the second half of their season two paintball epic, “For a Few Paintballs More,” which featured Abed as Han Solo and Storm Trooper-like forces from another school coming in to blast the study group.Community will be on NBC tomorrow at 8 p.m. EST.
