Tina Fey and Amy Poehler take on the Force in ‘Star Wars’-inspired featurette

Tina Fey and Amy Poehler are taking on the Force: The comedy duo’s upcoming buddy comedy “Sisters� opens the same day as the highly anticipated “Star Wars: The Force Awakens.�

The actresses are not ignorant of the fact that their film, which revolves around a sororal send-off of their characters’ childhood home, hits theaters Dec. 18, a day etched on countless calendars since it was claimed by Lucasfilm and Disney for the sci-fi fantasy film.

Now the “Saturday Night Live� alums have fully embraced Universal’s scheduling blunder -- er, strategy -- by putting out a “Star Wars�-inspired featurette, “Sisters: The Farce Awakens,� complete with a similar score and sense of nostalgia, British accents and a very unfortunate Chewbacca impression from costar Maya Rudolph.

“A real house. A real pool. Practical vomit effects,� narrates costar Ike Barinholtz. “You’ve been in a house. But not in this house. And nothing’s changed, really. I mean, everything’s changed ... That’s the way you want it to be really.�

“It could not be more exciting to see the way technology has evolved and yet keep one foot in the pre-digital world,� Poehler says in a British accent -- an accent that Fey says is in place just to cover up their drunken buzz.

“It literally could not be more exciting,� Fey repeats again and again. This from the woman whose “30 Rock� alter ego dressed as Princess Leia for her wedding. (Hey, it’s the only white dress she owns!)

The featurette then switches from its serious tone to a screwball sensibility, giving the “Sisters� highlight reel a “Star Wars�-style blooper treatment.

“Here’s some trivia,� Fey says. “R2-D2 is my current bra size!�

The takeaway they conclude? “#YouCanSeeThemBoth.�

Incidentally, other movies vying against the Force include Fox Family’s live-action animated comedy “Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Road Chip� and Lionsgate’s Bruce Willis thriller, “Extraction.�
