Jedi Sports Tricks
by Joe MacLeod
I went to a baseball game the other day in my city of Baltimore, where the home team you can root root root for is the Baltimore Orioles. This particular game day was also part of a Star Wars™ promotion, with “Star Wars™ Themed” fireworks after the game.
I guess having this game-long Star Wars saturation is a great way to plant the seed of the Intellectual Property in young brains who mighta never seen a star war? Is that possible? Maybe there are lotsa young brains out there who only know about the Star Wars by osmosis and popular reference? Maybe someone or some robot thing saw a way in to a brain that likes sports? I guess it’s extended fan service or something, a way to rope Star Wars enthusiasts into going to a baseball game. There were definitely nerdcore adults in attendance having a good time!
Anyway, I totally like movies with rocket ships in ’em and stuff, but I didn’t go to the ballgame because it was “Star Wars™ Themed” fireworks night, I just went to watch some Orioles baseball. They have an enormous new TV screen in the outfield, and it’s so big I kept forgetting to watch the real players on the field because my eyes were grabbed by the big screen.
Keep us breathing fire!
