Why is Darth Vader on Cubs.com?

[Rusch33]

Look under the schedule, and it shows Darth Vader under the Milwaukee game saying "The Force Unleashed."

 

What the hell?

Indiana Jones was on there a while back too. It's probably on every schedule. It's just a sponsorship with the video game company that's releasing that game I'm sure...

He's throwing out the first pitch that day.

He blew up Alderaan without too much effort.

He had a planet-sized superlaser for that, though.

It was to advertise Star Wars: The Force Unleashed, which was released that day.

No one, out of fear. I mean, you don't mess with someone who carries around something described by Wikipedia as "retractable, brightly colored energy blade about one meter in length able to cut through most matter with little or no resistance and to deflect projectiles and other weapons". You just don't.

 

But don't worry, we'll all be saved by everyone's favorite hero. This guy's on the case!
