Star Wars night and some insane basketball always makes for a good time. Here are the best Star Wars/TTU Basketball jokes from the VTM Slack chat and social media.

Brice Paterik:

Ryan Smith: more like battle droids playing Jar Jar

Brice: at least Jar Jar had some sick hops

Eric Linthicum:

Twitter:

I'm gonna link my own tweets in here, if you don't like it I really don't care, self plagiarism isn't against the law.

Matt "Jedi" Temple throws it down

This game is the beginning of ESB. Lots of destruction, heroes nowhere to be found, and the guys in white uniforms can't shoot at all.
