El lanzador de los Diablos sabe todo sobre la in style saga que celebra su día este 4 de mayo.

---

Trevor Bauer ganó el Cy Younger de la MLB en 2020 con los Cincinnati Reds. El pitcher estadounidense es una figura que se pasea en el diamante del Estadio Alfredo Harp Helú y regala fotos y autógrafos a todos los que se lo piden. El diestro de los Diablos Rojos del México sonríe y muestra su amabilidad en todo momento.

Nadie sabe, pero Bauer es lo que muchos describirían como un ‘nerd’ cuando se trata de hablar de Star Wars, su zaga favorita y a la cual le ha dedica muchas horas, pues el lanzador de los Pingos sabe todo de pies a cabeza sobre la in style historia que creó George Lucas y que es parte de The Walt Disney Firm.

Bauer se emocionó cuando ESPN lo buscó para hablar de la saga con motivo del Might the 4th, que es este sábado y que es el día que se celebra a Star Wars. Kevin, quien graba todos sus movies y lo acompaña en todo momento, confiesa que el ganador del Cy Younger sabe todo de la zaga y que es un verdadero fanático.

Darth Maul es su personaje favorito y si bien no está entre los Jedi y los Sith, se considera a sí mismo como un Grey Jedi, con esa voluntad de poder decidir su destino, pero hacer el bien, tal como lo es en la loma, pues su carácter ya hizo que empatara el récord de ponches en la Liga Mexicana de Béisbol con nueve de manera consecutiva.

A continuación, recopilamos las respuestas de Trevor Bauer sobre Star Wars y sus momentos favoritos de la saga, sus personas preferidos y las comparaciones con sus compañeros en los Diablos Rojos.

¿Cuál es tu película favorita del universo Star Wars?

Mi película favorita es el Episodio 1. Me encanta Darth Maul. Es mi personaje favorito. Duel of the Fates, la banda sonora de ese episodio es increíble. Sí, ésa es mi favorita.

¿Recuerdas qué personajes pelearon juntos en el Episodio 3?

Todos estaban peleando en el Episodio 3. Yoda estaba allí, el Conde Dooku, Obi-Wan, Anakin Skywalker tuvieron esa pelea y entonces entró Yoda en el pequeño hangar del remaining. Tenías la escena en el medio. Quizás ese sea el Episodio 2. Tenías a Anakin y al Conde Dooku allí. Tenías a Palpatine y Yoda en el Teatro del Senado. Tenías a los cuatro Jedi intentando arrestar a Palpatine. Mace Windu acabó siendo asesinado por Palpatine. Anakin fue entonces cuando pasó al lado oscuro. Luego estaba Obi-Wan y Anakin en Mustafar. Todos peleaban con todos.

¿Recuerdas qué actor interpretó el papel de Obi-Wan Kenobi desde el Episodio 1 al Episodio 3?

Ewan McGregor.

¿Cómo se llamaba el Jedi que luchó contra Darth Maul en el episodio 1?

Eran Qui-Gon Jinn y Obi-Wan Kenobi.

¿Quién escribió la historia de Star Wars?

George Lucas. Lucas Movie.

Si pudieras asociarte con un personaje de Star Wars, ¿cuál sería y por qué?

Amo a Darth Maul, pero no creo que me asociaría con él. Es mi personaje favorito. Creo que me asociaría más con Ahsoka. Dejó la Orden Jedi, todavía hace el bien y lo hace a su manera, pero ella sigue su propio camino. Ella es un poco más independiente. Me encantan los sables de luz de doble empuñadura. Me encanta su estilo de lucha. Creo que me asociaría con Ahsoka. Me gusta la serie Ahsoka. Ella es una de mis favoritas.

Hablando de la personalidad de tus compañeros de equipo, ¿cuál sería Han Solo en este equipo?

Estoy tratando de darte una buena respuesta aquí. Los rebeldes comienzan a saquear y luego se convierten en una parte muy fuerte de la Resistencia. La personalidad siempre va adelante. Podría ser (Juan Carlos ‘Haper’) Gamboa. Él es un líder. Han Solo period una especie de líder. Dirigió a Luke y dirigió a Leia. Lo hizo a su manera, pero él period el pegamento. Cuando Han no estaba, Leia y Luke se fueron y las cosas no salieron bien. Entonces yo diría Gamboa.

¿Quién sería Darth Vader?

Darth Vader. Quiero decir, no puedo decir siquiera uno de mis compañeros de equipo. Él es malvado. No puedo llamar malvado a uno de mis compañeros de equipo. Él tiene sus propias razones, ¿sabes? Voy a decir esto. Es uno de los más poderosos. Entonces se lo daré a (Robinson)

Canó, porque Canó es poderoso y cada vez que viene al plato, espero que suceda algo milagroso. Siempre pasa algo con Canó.

¿Quién sería Luke Skywalker?

Luke Skywalker. Quiero decir, él es algo así como… es genial, es muy poderoso. Y luego se cae, tiene algunos problemas y se pierde un poco. Yo me llevaré a Luke. Yo mismo seré Luke, sí. Creo que puedo verme como Luke.

¿Quién sería Obi-Wan Kenobi?

Obi-Wan Kenobi es una especie de mentor. Es como el tipo que mantiene todo junto. El viejo, muy sabio. Quiero decir, no un jugador, (Roberto) Espinoza para el cuerpo de lanzadores. Él es una especie de persona que mantiene todo junto. Diré ‘Espi’. Creo que Espinoza, el entrenador de lanzadores.

¿Quién sería Chewbacca?

Chewbacca. Ah, hombre. El bromista. (Tomohiro) Anraku. Anraku es un tipo divertido. Siempre le gusta mantener las cosas ligeras, es muy divertido en el clubhouse, eso sí.

¿Quién sería Yoda?

Probablemente Lorenzo Bundy. Ha estado por aquí. Ha visto todo lo que hay que ver en el béisbol. Él es, quiero decir, la cantidad de jugadores que ha entrenado y la sabiduría que tiene. Hablo con él tanto como sea posible para intentar aprender. Y sí, es un buen Yoda. Gran mentor.

¿Crees que los futbolistas representan el lado oscuro de los beisbolistas?

No me parece. Es un deporte diferente. Es una cosa diferente. Sabes, me encanta el futbol. Jugué al futbol durante gran parte de mi vida. Todo el camino hasta que llegué a la secundaria. Yo period mediocampista. No fui lo suficientemente rápido para ser atacante o defensor, pero period un pasador bastante bueno y tenía buena resistencia. Buen management del balón.

¿Resistencia o Imperio?

Resistencia, seguro.

El sable, ¿sería azul o rojo?

Estéticamente rojo. Me gusta el aspecto de un sable rojo, pero señala el lado oscuro. Así que no puedo ser oscuro. Tendría que elegir azul.

¿El clima frío como Hoth o cálido como Mustafar? ¿Cuál te gustaría más?

Preferiría caliente. Diría Mustafar, pero eso es muy caliente. Eso es realmente caluroso. Eso es más caluroso que el desierto de Arizona. Sí, eso hace demasiado calor.

¿Qué maestro elegirías? ¿Yoda o Darth Sidious?

Yoda seguro. Darth Sidious es demasiado manipulador. Siento que él me traicionaría en cualquier momento por sí mismo. Mientras que Yoda siento que estaría interesado en que yo aprenda. Sí, definitivamente Yoda.

Bien, ¿cuál fue la mejor pelea para ti? ¿Yoda contra el Emperador o Anakin Skywalker contra Obi-Wan Kenobi?

Anakin contra Obi-Wan Kenobi. Yoda y el Emperador sabemos que tienen una historia juntos, pero no conocemos la historia completa de cómo sucedió. Entonces, tal vez si conozco la historia completa de todos los diferentes momentos en que se encontraron, pero con Anakin y Obi-Wan, obtienes la historia completa desde el momento en que se conocen hasta el momento en que terminan. Y hay tanta pasión allí, y también es una gran pelea. Ésa es mi favorita entre las dos.

¿El Halcón Milenario o la Estrella de la Muerte?

Halcón Milenario. Cuanto más pequeña sea la nave y más rápida y maniobrable, mejor. Así que dame un X-Wing o un A-Wing. La Estrella de la Muerte es demasiado grande y no hace nada.

¿Eliges las películas clásicas de los años 70-80 o las del siglo XXI?

Bueno, son tres trilogías. Prefiero los episodios 1, 2 y 3, luego los episodios 4, 5, 6, y no me gustan los episodios 7, 8, 9.

¿Y cuál crees que será tu mejor compañero? ¿R2-D2 o BB-8?

BB-8. BB-8 es divertido. R2 es genial, me encanta R2, el authentic, pero sí, BB-8 parece divertido y tiene una personalidad peculiar. Creo que nos llevaríamos muy bien.

Ya has visto el nuevo uniforme, ¿verdad?

No lo he visto todavía. Probablemente lo veré el día del partido. El año pasado pude presentar un juego de Pokémon en Japón, por lo que presentar un juego de Star Wars aquí será muy especial para mí.

Un mensaje a los aficionados:

Soy Trevor Bauer de los Diablos Rojos del México. Los invito a todos a ver el juego de Star Wars por ESPN. Va a ser un gran día aquí, pero no todo el mundo podrá venir al estadio. Entonces, si no puedes venir al estadio, mira el partido por televisión. Va a ser divertido. Estoy lanzando, así que agradezco su apoyo… o tu odio. Cualquiera de los dos, pero sintoniza el juego.

Just like the Demise Star on the finish of “Star Wars: A New Hope,” let me lower to my explosive tackle this present day made for puns, memes and intergalactic battles: Could the drive (and Could the Fourth) be with you. And should you understand that Grasp Yoda was improper.

Sure, it is Jedi heresy, however let me repeat: Yoda, improper he was. 

“Do or don’t,” he mentioned in “The Empire Strikes Again.” Concluding, “There is no such thing as a ‘strive.'” 

Balderdash. Argle-bargle. Absurd. This dictum have to be improper. Musn’t it?

Life — whether or not right here or in a galaxy far, far-off — has grey areas and liminal areas with loads of in-betweens, becomings and efforts en path to having executed one thing. Is not “making an attempt” a prerequisite to doing? Granted, I am not an adherent to the Jediism faith; my disposition is that of a working towards Catholic. Because the moniker implies, my faith requires continuous pursuit or following. It’s not so simple as do or don’t.

Or is it?

I’ve had this bone to select with this well-loved inexperienced guru for years. Nonetheless, it was a current dialogue with my 9- and 6-year-old children that introduced this Jedi thoughts trick — err, philosophical distinction — again to the fore. 

For the previous three years, I’ve had a call-and-response with my children as both I or they head out the door within the morning:

Me: What are you going to do in the present day?
The children: Pay attention. Be taught tons. Do “good nice.”

One morning, whereas in a playful temper with my good however generally mischievous youngsters, I continued ruefully, “Will you although?” And one responded in earnest, “I will strive!” 

Their response jogged my memory of the dialogue between padawan Luke Skywalker and Jedi Grasp Yoda in “The Empire Strikes Again.” When Yoda required Luke to strive a brand new, tougher, bit of coaching, Luke responded, “I will give it a strive.” That is when Yoda shot again, “No. Attempt not. Do or don’t. There is no such thing as a ‘strive.’ “

I could not think about barking again to my child — who mentioned they’d strive, as earnestly as Luke — “No! You will hear. You will be taught. You will do ‘good nice.’ There is no such thing as a making an attempt. Simply doing!”

And I assumed to myself, Yoda was improper.

Quicker than a lightsaber can lower off an arm — or a disciple’s sword can lower off an ear — my objection to Yoda made me fear if my objection was additionally opposite to the instructions of Jesus, or to my very own follow of Catholicism which I’m making an attempt to cross on to my youngsters.In any case, Jesus does not say, “Attempt to love your neighbors,” however somewhat, “Love your neighbors” (Matthew 22). To the wealthy younger man (Matthew 19), he does not say, “Attempt to promote what you’ve got and attempt to comply with me.” No, he says, “Go, promote what you’ve got and comply with me.” Likewise, with the works of mercy (Matthew 25), the language is of actionable instructions to feed the hungry, dress the bare, shelter the homeless, and many others. To not try and do that, however merely, like Yoda, to do or to not do. Full dedication.

Perhaps it is me, and never Yoda, who has bought his prerogatives improper? Perhaps I have been working towards my very own religion improper and instructing my children doubtful life classes! The “do good nice,” of the “Pay attention. Be taught tons. Do good nice,” mantra I’ve for my children originated from a grad college professor paraphrasing a quote of St. Vincent de Paul: “It is not sufficient to do good. It have to be executed nicely.”

Maybe my frustration with Yoda, then, is not that he is improper, however somewhat that I imagine what’s extra essential is how one thing is finished — not merely whether or not or not it’s executed.

I imagine it typically takes many tries to do one thing nicely. Sure, doing the works of mercy is essential; and sure, both you are doing them otherwise you’re not doing them. However the way you do them issues simply as a lot — the spirit, intention, angle and causes all matter. Ask a 9- or 6-year-old to apologize to their sibling and perhaps they may, however it could or might not have true contrition.

“You count on us to be excellent!” My 9-year-old declared not too long ago after I chided my children for not listening nicely after college. 

“No, I do not need or count on perfection,” I responded rigorously. “Individuals do some actually distorted issues to attain perfection — or worse, to seem excellent. What I count on is progress. I need you to strive tougher to hear the primary time I ask you to do one thing.”

This brings me to the final level. Sure, Yoda and Jesus converse in clear instructions of commitments and never merely makes an attempt; and but, within the Gospel we additionally discover the Beatitudes (Matthew 5). To be merciful and meek, pure of coronary heart and poor in spirit takes work; there will likely be successes and failed makes an attempt, there will likely be events for forgiveness after we fail or fall quick. However fortunately, so long as we hold at it — hold forgiving, hold making an attempt — we have an opportunity to really stay out Gospel holiness. Perhaps not with perfection, however at the least with integrity. 

Simply as Luke Skywalker would develop in knowledge, age and style, I hope my youngsters achieve this as nicely, even when they do not have Yoda to information them. So long as they hold making an attempt, they are going to be nice listeners, they may be taught tons and, I’ve little doubt, they may “do good nice” — love God, neighbor and self with all they have. Maybe Yoda is not improper. Maybe I took him slightly too actually, as a result of making an attempt typically is identical factor as doing.

Could the drive be with you; and likewise along with your spirit. 

“By chance, a fantastic deal [of J.R.R. Tolkien’s book series “The Lord of the Rings”] will be learn topically,” Maj. Warren Lewis, brother to C.S. Lewis, wrote in probably the primary ever assessment of the novel in 1949. “The Shire standing for England, Rohan for France, Gondor the Germany of the longer term, Sauron for Stalin.”

And whereas Tolkien later explicitly rejected the concept his “story was an allegory of any historic occasion, most of all of the latest battle towards Nazism … for all such protestations, Lewis had clearly been on to one thing again in 1949,” historian Alan Allport wrote in his 2020 e-book in regards to the social and army historical past of the U.Ok. throughout World Battle II, “Britain at Bay.”

Reasonably than singularly weaving a mythopoeic fantasy world, Allport contended, Tolkien’s future viewers “was going to see associations between occasions in Center Earth and people in their very own world.”

Tolkien, nevertheless, was not the primary nor the final to attract inspiration from the cataclysmic bloodletting that was the Second World Battle.

Right now, as followers have fun Could the Fourth (be with you), one doesn’t should stray far to glean that the galaxy of “Star Wars” is rife with WWII-based allegories — and its fanbase may equal, if not surpass, Tolkien’s.

“Star Wars” creator George Lucas famously studied over 25 hours of footage from World Battle II dogfights and jittery newsreel imagery whereas researching for the movies — even utilizing the footage as placeholders within the movie earlier than particular results had been added.

“So one second you’re with the Wookiee within the spaceship and the subsequent you’re in ‘The Bridges at Toko-Ri.’ It was like, ‘George, what’s going on?’” Willard Huyck, a screenwriter and private good friend of Lucas, said in a 1997 interview.

Although the b-roll was ultimately edited out, the aerial ways established in World Battle II stay seen.

One such shot, based on Nationwide WWII Museum and Memorial curator Corey Graff, “confirmed plane peeling out of formation and dropping from sight. The clip was used as a mannequin for the memorable shot of Insurgent craft diving to assault the Demise Star. One by one, the fictional spaceships elegantly ‘aileron roll’ throughout the display screen, mimicking the actions of the Nineteen Forties plane nearly precisely.”

Complete books have been dedicated to such analogies, however we’ve summed up just a few of our favorites for some Could the Fourth enjoyment.

The Millennium Falcon’s cockpit got here from the Boeing B-29 Fortress

After learning hours of WWII footage, Lucas grew to become significantly enamored with the cockpit of B-29s — the well-known bomber recognized for dropping the atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 1945.

The outcome? The cockpit of Han Solo’s beloved Millennium Falcon seems to be prefer it was lifted straight out of Boeing’s blueprints, replete with the B-29′s signature greenhouse-style cockpit. And, precisely like on the Superfortress, the Falcon sports activities defensive gun turrets — which turn out to be useful when battling a Demise Star.

The Empire’s similarities to Nazi Germany

From stormtroopers to Imperial officers’ uniforms and even Darth Vader’s helmet, which resembles these worn by the Wehrmacht throughout WWII, the analogies between Nazi Germany and the Galactic Empire aren’t precisely refined.

The gradual rise of Hitler from German chancellor to Nazi dictator is additional mirrored within the rise of Darth Sidious, or Sheev Palpatine, from chancellor to world’s most in-need-of-facial-moisturizer emperor.

Depictions of Star Wars spaceships had been influenced by WWII fighters

As soon as once more Lucas turned to World Battle II aviation for inspiration to provide his spaceships distinctive sounds. In response to Ian D’Costa for Tacairnet, sounds couldn’t simply be synthesized in the identical manner studios can create film sound results at this time. To get round that, Lucas despatched out sound designer Ben Burtt to Reno Air Races in Nevada, the place he was allowed to file the noise of P-51 Mustangs racing overhead.

Burtt later recalled, “I simply mentioned, ‘I need to file some planes,’ they usually mentioned ‘Yeah? Then go on on the market.’ You could possibly by no means do that these days. I used to be out on the pylons, and planes had been passing 15 ft above my head. They had been so quick that I might hardly see them go by; they had been only a blur, although I might odor the oil and exhaust. … Nearly all the spaceships got here out of these Mojave recordings, together with the Falcon.”

The Demise Star trench run was impressed by the British Dambuster Raid

Lucas additional drew inspiration from the 1955 movie “The Dam Busters,” which chronicles the audacious British raid on Germany’s strategic river dams in 1943. The dams had been closely defended by anti-aircraft fireplace, a recurring theme in “Star Wars.”

“The Demise Star assault is all about fight within the face of determined odds,” Graff wrote in Smithsonian Journal in 2020. “It’s a transparent homage to the epic air battles seen in motion pictures from the Nineteen Fifties and Nineteen Sixties.”

The Rebels undergo catastrophic losses, and the Demise Star raid, identical to in 1943, teeters getting ready to failure, “till a pivotal second when [the] Millennium Falcon comes diving out of the ‘solar,’ a trick as previous as army aviation itself,” Graff concluded.

An extended, very long time in the past in a galaxy far, far-off, the San Antonio Spurs determined so as to add a Star Wars theme Night time to their annual record of promotions and occasions.

An outdated Jedi and his daughter started attending these video games because it mixed their favourite workforce and their favourite intergalactic warfare film sequence.

After shifting again to San Antonio in 2014 (speak about timing), I bear in mind the Spurs internet hosting a Star Wars Night time within the 2014-15 season. I don’t know how I missed it, however I used to be heartbroken. Little did I do know it wasn’t the final time the Spurs would have one in all these.

Having began writing for PtR a number of years in the past, I’m lucky to have items from a number of of those. Sadly, I can’t recall the years earlier than that.

Here’s a look again at a number of of the previous Star Wars Nights (that I bear in mind):

In 2019, the Spurs stylized their emblem with a Dying Star plans impressed background. Positively my favourite of the shirts.

And naturally, the intro-

I’m fairly certain there was no in-person basketball in 2020, and due to this fact no Star Wars Night time.

In 2021, it was the good return of the Daddy-Daughter Date Night time. Their memento shirt featured a conventional Star Wars shot of C3PO and R2D2 with a Jedi model of the Spurs Coyote added to the picture. Nevertheless it wasn’t the shirt. I vividly bear in mind strolling as much as the gate. Elizabeth was so excited. It was the primary video games we’d been to in a over a yr, and we had been beginning to really feel regular. The image is fuzzy, however you may see the smile on that child’s face. I’m certain mine was twice an enormous.

The AT&T Middle had a terrific group welcoming within the followers. These costumes had been legit (in contrast to my Chewbacca onesie Halloween-slash-pajama factor).

Right here’s a take a look at the sport kick off.

Two years in the past, the Spurs featured Child Yoda with their “The Drive Is Robust With This One” theme.

This season I don’t recall a Star Wars Night time. Please remark eblow if I’m mistaken.

My three passions are the San Antonio Spurs, Star Wars, and Foo Fighters. I personal only a few articles of clothes that don’t have one in all this logos.

I’ve been blessed that my daughter has latched onto all three. We watch the Spurs (and go as usually as attainable, she’s even breaking down the playoffs within the background as I kind this), we’ve seen the Star Wars movies collectively (with age-appropriate limitations), and final summer season, after I requested Elizabeth what she needed to do for her tenth birthday, she stated she needed to skip having a party and she or he desires to go see the Foo Fighters in Milwaukee.

I usually inform folks I’m crushing this daddy factor, however the fact is she’s actually crushing the being-a-kid factor.

Make certain and add your reminiscences and images within the feedback under.
