Now that Disney owns the FiveThirtyEight trade name I want to see how it's integrated into the Star Wars franchise.


"538" can be hidden inside of "BB8", given the shape of the chars.


This is now canon for me.

> "In July 2013, ESPN (owned by Disney) acquired FiveThirtyEight, hiring Silver as editor-in-chief and a contributor for ESPN.com; the new publication launched on March 17, 2014."

> "BB-8 was first seen in the 88-second The Force Awakens teaser trailer released by Lucasfilm (owned by Disney) on November 28, 2014"


this is the way.


Never tell me the odds!


C-3PO: Sir, the possibility of successfully navigating an asteroid field is approximately 3,720 to 1!

Han Solo: Excellent analysis. Chewie, Leia, prepare for surrender.
