Team far, far away

With the release of Star Wars: Episode VIII — The Last Jedi on Friday, the Cut4 blog on MLB.com celebrated the occasion by taking a whimsical look at what a baseball team comprised solely of Star Wars characters would look like.

Here’s how they’d put the team together:

Left field: Rey

Center field: Finn

Right field: Boba Fett Third base: Wedge Antilles. “The grisled infield veteran who’s seen some things. The lone Rebel pilot to have survived both X-Wing attacks on the Death Star, he’s been doing his thing for years … and he’s a leader. He’ll anchor the hot corner like nobody’s business,” the blog reads.

Shortstop: Han Solo Second base: Poe

First base: Chewbacca/Jar-Jar Binks. “First basemen need height in order to catch throws from the infield, and Chewbacca’s skills on the fields of Kashyyyk are the stuff of legend. But he only hits lefthanders. The much-maligned JarJar Binks, meanwhile, also stands tall and can crush righties, so they form a solid [if begrudging] platoon at first,” the blog said. Catcher: R2-D2 Designated hitter: Darth Vader Starting pitchers: Obi-Wan Kenobi and Jamie Moyer. “The wise old wizard, utilizing a psychological advantage to best his enemies and thrive, despite all odds. And, as a solid No. 2, ObiWan Kenobi,” the blog reads. Middle relief: Luke Skywalker Closer: Lando Calrissian Manager: Yoda

Bench coach: Jyn Erso Bench/role player: Kylo Ren
