'Wheel of Fortune' contestants screw up 'Star Wars' show

Pat Sajak felt a great disturbance in the Force on a special "Star Wars"-themed "Wheel of Fortune" Tuesday night.

Contestants were light-years away from solving a rather self-explanatory puzzle in the category of "fun and games" during the Galactic Celebration episode.

Wordsmiths Christopher, Kate and Adura all lacked the wisdom of Master Yoda when it came time to guess the proper answer of "camping outside a movie theater" — despite almost every letter of the words in the puzzle being revealed already, according to the Sun.

Adura — sporting a bounty hunter-style jacket — wrongly guessed it was "gaming outside the movie theater" in a bigger tragedy than that of Darth Plagueis the Wise.

"What an interesting group," Sajak said during the new, hopeless episode.

Eventually, it was the Princess Leia bun-wearing Kate who brought balance to the Force by correctly solving the puzzle.

Regardless, the internet blasted Adura for missing a mark wider than Beggar's Canyon.

"Adura is having one of those episodes. Not in a good way," wrote @kris_m_jordan.

" ‘Gaming outside the movie theater’? C’mon son," tweeted @Updawg21.

In addition to blowing up the Death Star-size, five-word puzzle, Kate — who dragged her friends to the filming location of "Star Wars: Episode II – Attack of the Clones" in Italy where Anakin Skywalker and Padmé Amidala secretly wed — was also revered online for her Carrie Fisher-esque hairstyle.

"I like Kate's energy," @realdealAneil posted.

"The little star wars girl on wheel of fortune is so cute rn," tweeted @eighthhoekage.
