"Admiral Ackbar - the Supreme Commander of the Rebel Alliance fleet - is one step closer to becoming the new on-field mascot for the University of Mississippi.
Ole Miss is in the middle of a movement to replace their old mascot -- Colonel Reb -- after the school decided they wanted to update their image.
Tuesday, 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 emerged - making the Admiral the heavy favorite. The University tells us the decision on the mascot is entirely in the hands of the student mascot committee. The University will hold a vote in the near future - we'll keep you updated."
and from ap:
" Officials say there's virtually no chance the fish-faced leader of the Rebel Alliance in 'Return of the Jedi' could become the on-field mascot for the Rebels of Ole Miss.
The Associated Student Body president dismisses it as "comic relief."
But that doesn't deter some Ole Miss Star Wars fanatics from promoting the pop-eyed space character. "
