OXFORD — Now that students at Ole Miss have voted to find a new mascot, some Rebels on campus are backing Admiral Ackbar of “Star Wars” fame — but as the admiral himself might say, “It’s a trap.”
Officials say there’s virtually no chance the fish-faced leader of the Rebel Alliance in the science-fiction flick could become the on-field mascot for the Rebels of Ole Miss.
The president of the Associated Student Body dismisses it as “comic relief.”
But that does not deter a contingent of Ole Miss “Star Wars” fanatics who are promoting the pop-eyed space character from the planet Mon Calamari and his most famous and often parodied line: “It’s a trap!”[/quote]

Ole Miss's old mascot was Colonel Reb. leader of the Ole Miss Rebels

Ackbar is the leader of the Rebels in Star Wars, if you ask me, it's a perfect replacement.

It's a Trap!
While it is a funny idea, no. I don't see the need for a new mascot. They should keep Colonel Reb.
Fuck yeah, Finally an awesome mascot for once. :razz:
Good luck with that, youll have Fox and George Lucas going after royalties.
