This new generation of Star Wars movies has made the space opera franchise something of a holiday tradition. I’ll admit, as an old school Star Wars fan, I resisted the notion of seeing the series escape its summertime roots, but after three Christmas seasons in a row surrounded by all kinds of Jedi goodness, I’ve become quite used to the idea. And so has one Star Wars cosplayer who goes by the name “Fluke Skywalker.”

Dressed as Luke in his Jedi Master form from The Last Jedi, “Fluke,” who from certain angles actually quite resembles an older Mark Hamill, has made a practice of raising money for the Ronald McDonald’s House toy drive and handing out Star Wars toys to children who are in dire medical situations and in desperate need of any kind of holiday cheer. You can check out images of this “Santa Skywalker” handing out toys below.

Fluke set up a GoFundMe page to help out these sick children, and many a Star Wars fan on Reddit and Imgur donated money to help these kids out. In the Star Wars canon, being a Jedi is all about giving one’s self over to the idea of total selflessness and helping others. Seems that’s one Jedi lesson that good old Fluke here really took to heart. We think that Master Yoda would be very proud indeed, don’t you?

Does this good samaritan Jedi make you believe in the good of humanity again like he does for us? Be sure to let us know down below in the comments.

LaVar Ball continues to put his stamp on basketball and the entire world of sports.

He’s already disrupted the college recruiting system, shut down Trump and given the Lakers fits in the PR department. Now word has surfaced that Ball wants to start his own basketball league for high school players who don’t want to go to college.

BREAKING: LaVar Ball says he’s starting a Big Baller basketball league for nation’s top players who don’t want to go to college, says he will pay up to $10K a month https://t.co/8FaFnHQfZV

According to ESPN, the league will be for top-ranked players who graduate from high school but don’t want to go the college route.

“Getting these players is going to be easy,” Ball told ESPN. “This is giving guys a chance to get a jump start on their career, to be seen by pro scouts, and we’re going to pay them because someone has to pay these kids.”

The so-called “Ball’s Junior Basketball Association,” which Ball says will be funded by his Big Baller Brand, looks to pay salaries ranging from $3,000 a month for the lowest-ranked player to $10,000 a month for a top ranked player. He’s looking for 10 teams and 80 players in total, with teams being placed in cities such as Brooklyn, LA, Dallas and Atlanta.

Ball’s inspiration for the League derives from comments made by NCAA President Mark Emmert when asked about Ball’s impact on college sports.

“Is this about someone being part of a university and playing basketball or any other sport with that school’s jersey on representing that institution, or is it about preparing me for my career, my professional career as a ballplayer,” Emmert responded. “If it’s the latter, you can do that inside a university and that might be a really good way to go. But if you don’t want to and you don’t think that it’s right for your family then don’t come.”

“He was right. Those kids who are one and done, they shouldn’t be there with the NCAA trying to hold them hostage, not allowing them to keep the jersey they wear while selling replicas of them in stores,” Ball said. “So our guy isn’t going to go to Florida State for a year. He’s going to come to our league.”

The League will be sponsored by Big Baller Brand, with all of the players required to wear BBB products, head to toe.

“We’ll give it to them all,” Ball said. “They’ll be wearing our uniform, our shoes, our T-shirts and our hoodies.”

Although they will adopt the rules of the NBA, the BBB league won’t be using a silhouette of of Jerry West dribbling. You already know the deal.

“We don’t need a logo of a guy dribbling,” Ball said, an obvious reference to the NBA’s famous Jerry West silhouette. “Nobody does that anymore.”

So of course Lonzo, now going for a dunk, will be the league’s logo.
