Admiral Ackbar, the Supreme Commander of the Rebel Alliance fleet is on his way to becoming the new on-field mascot for Mississippi University. Ole Miss wanted to update their image and is in the middle of a movement to replace their old mascot ‘Colonel Reb‘. The students voted in favor of crowning a new mascot to represent “Rebel Nation” … and the favorite so far is none other than the most famous Mon Calamari in the entire universe.

Several pro-Ackbar websites have recently popped up, making Ackbar the heavy favorite. The University says the decision on their new mascot is entirely in the hands of the student mascot committee and the University will hold a vote in the near future.

I hope it’s not a TRAP!
