At my daughters’ school, K-8, today they are allowed to dress up as characters, where SW t-shirts, etc. ---

Appropriately enough, my local multiplex had advance tickets for Solo: A Star Wars Story available for sale today, so I bought a ticket for a showing on the Saturday, May 26 (two days after the May 24 opening). ---

Mrs. Cups and I are going to Disney tonight (Magic Kingdom though, not Hollywood Studiod) to celebrate. We’re both wearing Star Wars shirts. ---

The Seattle Mariners are doing a\* Star Wars\* night. For the life of me I don’t see the connection between the two for cross marketing purposes. But, whatever. ---

They did it last year on May 4, too. As for connections, it’s not the only baseball marketing scheme without a specific link to baseball. Bobbleheads, for example, yet they do them all the time. ---

Bobbleheads, for example, yet they do them all the time. Yeah, but why just Star Wars? And how did it come about? Why no _M_A_S_H\* night, or _Gone With the Wind_, or whatever? I know it was a popular movie, but I feel like I’m missing something. I know they want to get people to the stadium, but does anyone really think “Gee, I’m not much of a baseball fan, but if i I can dress up like a movie character, maybe it will be fun.” ---
