The force is strong with Radio X DJ Chris Moyles and Chelsea FC goalkeeper Asmir Begovic who have been put through 'Jedi Training' as part of a campaign for the Star Wars Battlefront videogame livestream.

The pair were shown playing the game at last night's London derby ahead of an experiential event titled Star Wars Battlefront - Battle of Jakku: Live from London, created by Havas SE Cake.

Livestreamed on Amazon-owned Twitch, the gaming marathon will see them pitted against 40 players as part of the world premiere of the latest level in the game this evening (30 November).

To mark the occasion, Wembley's iconic arch has been lit up in green and red to represent Luke Skywalker and Darth Vader's Lightsabers.

Chris Moyles said: “Shooting down Tie Fighters in the Millennium Falcon on the big screen underneath the Wembley arch was amazing. It’s been great fun playing against Asmir, but he’s definitely a better goalkeeper than he is a Jedi Knight.”
