The Toledo Mud Hens are celebrating Star Wars on May 4 and 5 by wearing Chewbacca jerseys. Sadly they’re just printed to look like Chewie’s chest and are not actually made out of 8 feet of Muppet hair, which would be the greatest promotion of all time.

It’s a cool promotion, but true Star Wars fans know that Chewbacca is a TERRIBLE baseball player. He can’t even get the ball over the plate. Video proof is after the jump. (h/t to Gamedayr)

This is relevant to my interests.

What’s the fastest (and slowest) famous movie/TV vehicle? We gathered 16 Star Cars at Barona Dragstrip in California to find out and burn rubber! Vehicles raced include KITT, the General Lee, Time Machine DeLorean, Transformers Bumblebee, Starksy’s Gran Torino, Herbie, the Bandit’s Trans Am, the Scooby Doo Mystery Machine, the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle Van, the Bluesmobile, Green Hornet’s Black Beauty, and a few surprises in our season one finale.

If you’re like me, you’re going to watch Star Cars race a bunch of TV and movie-accurate cars against each other and run fantasy match-ups in your head all day long. Who would win in a race, Grandpa Munster’s DRAG-U-LA or The Man from U.N.C.L.E. car? The Sons of Anarchy Motorcycle Club or Hank and Dean Venture on hover bikes? Brum, or Caillou in rollerskates?

For all the pop culture races that matter, the season finale of Star Cars is below.

This photo, which I probably should’ve shared without comment, was taken at Sunday’s “Star Wars Day At The Ballpark” game between the Tampa Bay Rays and Seattle Mariners at Tropicana Field. Pictured left to right: Darth Maul, 81-year old Rays senior advisor Don Zimmer, Darth Vader. Ghosts of Obi-Wan Kenobi, Yoda and Wade Boggs are somewhere in the background.

Anyway, Last Angry Fan’s headline for the shot was “Judging by this picture of the three Sith Lords, it looks like the Emperor has really let himself go”. My first thought (as the same nerd who devoted 21 pages to a Saved By The Bell sports retrospective) was, “he doesn’t look like the Emperor, he looks like Darth Vader did when he unmasked in Jedi“. 30 -year old spoiler alert, by the way.

I’m going to leave it up to the 10 of you who like Star Wars and baseball. Is Don Zimmer more like unmasked Darth Vader, or more like Emperor Palpatine? Evidence for both choices follows.
