If you haven't heard the news, Ole Miss students are campaigning to get a new school mascot, and their preferred choice is Star Wars character Admiral Ackbar.

He's known for his famous line in Return of the Jedi, when he said, "It's a trap!"

Whether or not this actually pans out is still in the works, but the biggest stepping stone Ole Miss needs to overcome is getting Star Wars creator George Lucas to allow the school to use Ackbar's likeness.

The following slides are a few other mascots that are in need of a change to a more Hollywood character. Some you may think are funny and some you may not, but at the very least you should still enjoy it!

The Mariner Moose Should Become Bullwinkle

A good resemblance here. Kids for years have loved The Rocky and Bullwinkle Show, so they would get a kick out of seeing Bullwinkle at the ballpark.

Wally the Green Monster Should Become Oscar the Grouch

Wally obviously has better hygiene habits than Oscar, but kids would love it if Ocsar popped out of random garbage cans throughout the ballpark.

Captain Fear Should Become Captain Morgan

Captain Fear already has the stance down—now he just needs a cape and a hat.

Jaxson De Ville Should Become Chester Cheetah

The coloring may be a bit off, but with as creepy as the Cheetos commercials have now become, it would make for some entertaining moments at the stadium.

One of the Cleveland Browns' Dawgs Should Become Scrappy Doo

The Browns have four different dawg mascots running throughout Cleveland Browns Stadium at home games, and Scrappy would be a nice added touch.

Banana Slug Should Become Star Wars' Salacious Crumb

Jabba the Hutt's pesky little sidekick could easily fill the shoes of the Banana Slug.

WKU's Big Red Should Become Gossamer

The lovable Looney Tunes character would fit Big Red's shoes admirably.

Boltman Should Become Powdered Toast Man

Powdered Toast Man is a favorite of some from The Ren & Stimpy Show, but he may freak some fans out when he starts flying backwards.
