One of the famous one liners from the Star Wars universe. Spoken by the fictitious character known as Admiral Ackbar of the Rebel Alliance, leader of the fleet that assisted in the demise of the mighty Empire from a galaxy far far away. A character embedded in the minds of those who watched the first trilogy created by George Lucas. No way would the chronicles of the most famous Mon Calamarian be a part of main stream media. Or so I thought. Turns out that the student body on the campus of Ole Miss has gone into the Jedi Archives.
In 2003, the decision made to do away with the one time iconic mascot known as Colonel Reb. The perception was that the old Rebel mascot was seen as offensive to most in an era of political correctness. Thus leading to the students looking for a new face to represent the university. Thus discussion of the Admiral to help lead one of the top universities in the south. It's not like he dosen't know what he doing. I don't know what will come from this but the Forum will give update once a decision is made.
Be mindful, I sense a disturbance in the Force, did you know?
