In one of his lesser known moments, Darth Vader hit a grand slam in the
3rd annual Death Star inter-departmental softball tournament*.

The maintenance crew were winning by 2, but once Grand Moff Tarkin fooled everyone
with a sacrifice bunt, he set the table for the eventual Vader slam. Most people thought
he couldn't hit well with that helmet on, but he proved them wrong.

The character in this photo, not sure of her name but she's part of the resistance, was roaming around Batuu mostly hiding from the First Order troopers. At one point I was standing in the corridor between Docking Bay 7 and Dok-Ondar's and I hear a voice saying 'Don't move, I need cover" and she was using me as a human shield to hide from the troopers ahead, ducking down behind my legs. Thankfully I didn't have any beans for lunch.

Baseball is a sport for the thinking man. If you think football is better it just shows you have no mental capabilities.

Football is an incredibly complex game- coaching it is insanely difficult. Knowing what kind of defense/offense the team you're playing against runs, and figuring out your defense/offense to use against them is essential. Memorizing hundreds of plays and knowing when to use each one. Knowing which player to put where to make the team the best it can be.

Baseball's a complex sport, but to pretend Football isn't a sport for the thinking man is an ignorant claim at best, and intentionally disingenuous at worst.

People just like football because it’s big guys hitting each other and is fast paced so it requires no thinking for the viewer.

The only thing truly ridiculous about sports (all of them) is how much they pay the players.
No one, I don't care how talented, needs to become a multi-millionaire simply for playing a kids game.

Also, Star Wars.

Tell that to Steph Curry

(Even though I hope he loses tonight)
I have a hard time following basketball because it seems like every 30 seconds, some ref is blowing his whistle because a player got touched on the arm. And then the other team has one of their players knocked on his butt on the court and the ref doesn't do anything. There's no consistency in the ruling of fouls.

I’ll bring this back to Star Wars (kind of) ...

I just watched the new Hagrid coaster POV ride through on the USH thread and WOW. Universal is out Disneying Disney at the moment. I was prepared to say about 2/3 through the video that the show scenes were “just ok” but the last show scene takes the attraction over the top. I absolutely love the outdoor sections with all the trees. The ride has a great sense of scale to it. It feels BIG and sprawling.

Sigh- makes me think what they could have done with an Ewok coaster. Well I hope you all enjoy Star Tours .5, I mean the Falcon, instead.
