Tampa Bay Buccaneers reimagined as Star Wars movies

Jumping around chronologically again, The Force Awakens is the seventh film in the series yet many fans believed that it had far too many similarities to A New Hope. The plots of these two movies were similar, there was another masked villain, and yet another super weapon. While some fans saw this as a lazy attempt, Buccaneers fans should see no problem in the team drafting a player that looks very similar to Lavonte David. Devin White was the Bucs’ fifth overall pick and has many similarities to Lavonte David while also introducing his own personality. While it may be hard to come up with a new story for a movie, Lavonte David is tried and tested as a template and Devin White will hopefully experience a similar career.

The eighth movie chronologically, The Last Jedi, cinematically aimed to subvert expectations. The movie was incredibly polarizing for one scene in particular involving light speed travel through another object and the destruction that followed. No one expected this move yet as a scene it was visually spectacular despite the plot holes that it created. Jamel Dean may have been a higher draft pick but no one expected him to play as well as he did. Dean shocked everyone with 17 passes defended and an interception in a limited role to start the season. Jamel Dean was able to subvert the expectations of the fans-albeit to a better reception than The Last Jedi.

The final film in the series, The Rise of Skywalker, was critiqued by many fans due to the fact that it took very few chances and at times seemed to work out too perfectly. This is an aspect that can be critiqued in many things but not in football. Teams rarely want to take chances and seek consistency in their players while searching for perfect fits for their unique systems. Vita Vea was one of the most consistent players on the Buccaneers in 2019 and is a perfect fit in a 3-4. Week in and week out no one had to wonder if Vita Vea would show up and it was just expected that he would be playing at his normal high level on the defense as almost too good a fit for the story.
