Meet the Tatooine High School Sports Club
It took me forever to think up a title for this article (and I’m not pretending that it’s something magnificent) because Star Wars and sports are two things that rarely mix. The sectors of my brain that think about AT-ATs and the NY Giants’ woes at wide receiver (please, sweet Evil Flying Jesus, don’t sign Terrell Owens) are very far apart, and the synapses have mostly shut down completely. And yet someone — call him a genius, or call him a fool — conceived of and shot this video of various Star Wars characters playing sports, complete with laser balls and sound effects. I applaud you, sir. I have no idea what’s wrong with you, but I applaud you nonetheless.
