Dodgers embrace Evil Empire persona by giving away literal Death Star
The Los Angeles Dodgers don't exactly care about subtlety these days, and that extends to their promotional schedule. The defending World Series champions released their ticket package schedule on Thursday with many of the usual suspects on there: various heritage nights, LA Kings night, teacher appreciation day. It was the giveaway for the Star Wars night that drew some attention, though. On May 14, in a game against the Athletics, the team that many people are calling the Evil Empire of MLB are giving away a literal Death Star, which hovers over Dodger Stadium. Star Wars Night is back this season (Wednesday, May 14 vs. Athletics) — DodgersBeat (@DodgersBeat) February 6, 2025 Notably, those Death Stars only come with a specific ticket package rather than a stadium-wide giveaway like bobbleheads. The Dodgers have always been a little extra when it comes to their promotional schedule and they went fairly overboard this year, with 21 bobbleheads on the schedule. That means there will be a bobblehead in more than a quarter of the team's 80 games at Dodger Stadium in 2025 (one home game was sacrificed to the season-opening Japan Series). The full bobblehead list: Shohei Ohtani, Freddie Freeman, Dave Roberts, Mookie Betts, Shohei Ohtani (again), Vin Scully, Will Smith, Tommy Edman, Blake Snell, Ice Cube. Yoshinobu Yamamoto. Joe Davis. Ron Cey, Fernando Valenzuela, Teoscar Hernández, Roki Sasaki, Kobe Bryant, Blake Treinen, Shohei Ohtani (for a third time), Shohei Ohtani (for a fourth time) and Tyler Glasnow. Suffice to say, the Dodgers didn't spend on just players this offseason. They enter this season as the clear favorite to become the first repeat World Series champions since 2000 after landing Snell, Sasaki, Hernández, Tanner Scott and many more in free agency. They have spent big, so much so that even the owner of the New York Yankees is complaining.
