The ‘Star Wars’ saga and NASCAR, as many of you know, are deeply intertwined. There are many parallels. NASCAR was founded by moonshine runners, while ‘Star Wars’ prominently features smuggler Han Solo, for instance.

And you’re like “NO WAY IN HELL — IT’S TERRIBLY ACTED, CONFUSING AND THERE’S A LIZARD NAMED JAR JAR THAT YOU’LL SPEND THE WHOLE TIME WANTING TO THROAT PUNCH.”
The ‘Star Wars’ saga is like an Instagram timeline – best enjoyed completely out of chronological order.

Leo’s wise beyond his years. Imagine if the saga unfolded with Darth Vader and Luke Skywalker sheathing their lightsabers and hashing out their differences on Dale Jr.’s podcast.

Working out is way more important than fitting the prequels in the schedule. Always.
