Frankly, I don't understand it.
That cooked porg looks GOOD. I'm with Chewbacca, I'm down for eating it. It must taste delicious! Now, I'll concede the eyes staring up at you are a little unnerving, and the tongue caught in mid-scream is a bit disconcerting. But it looks juicy as heck. It would pair well with thala-siren milk! If we don't see porgs roosting inside the Millenium Falcon during Rise of Skywalker, we'll know it's because the rebellion got wise to this excellent protein source. Bon appetit!
In other news, Thanksdueling! marks our 80th Duel in league history. My goodness, our league is an octogenarian! Also, that's the first time I've ever used "octogenarian" in a sentence before! That's why I love Epic Duels, it really expands your vocabulary, particularly in finding new ways to vent frustration without cursing...
THANKSDUELING! HISTORY:
2018 - Ben H. won with Luke Skywalker in the Geonosis Arena
2017 - Rob won with Boba Fett on the Kamino Platform
2016 - JD won with Yoda in the Emperor's Throne Room

MEET THE DUELERS:
Our tradition for the Thanksdueling! preview post is to list what each Dueler is thankful for this year. So, without further ado...
Alex C. - Alex either finishes at the bottom or near the top, there's almost no in-between. He is thankful for...his six top-three finishes in 2019!
Ben H. - The .5 Hall of Famer won his first of three career victories at last year's Thanksdueling! He is thankful for...a chance to defend his trophy!
Christopher - New professional alert!!! Thanksdueling! marks Christopher's sixth Duel, meaning he's turning pro! If he can finish above 9th place he'll have a guaranteed spot in the Championship match. He is thankful for...persistence!
Delaney - New Dueler alert!!! Delaney caught the Dueling fever over in Brooks College, where there is a major outbreak right now. She is thankful for...debuts!
Kaleb - Did you know the bearded one hasn't finished below sixth place in 2019? That's incredible! Kaleb is thankful for...people forgetting Rob mentioned this on the blog!
Lucas - Thanksdueling! marks Lucas' fifth Duel, leaving him one shy of professional status. He has three top five finishes in four career starts. He is thankful for...rookie sensation status!
Natalie - She's back for her second career start after a nifty fourth place finish at the Fall Brawl. Natalie is thankful for...breaking sophomore slumps!
Rachel - New Dueler alert!!! After making a splash for her play and Yoda costume at the 2019 Single's Tournament, Rachel has her eyes set on the Han Solo trophy. She's thankful for...little green Jedis.
Rob - Just when it looked like they had beaten Rob into submission, he pulled off two firsts and a second place in his last three Duels. He's thankful for...his 2019 trophy shelf!
Ryan - Ryan skipped Fight Night, but in his last Duel (Fall Brawl), he took home first place with Mace Windu! Ryan is thankful for...evil giggles!
Rylie - She is playing in her fourth career Duel and is looking to recapture that high she experienced with a third place finish at Doubleheader #2. Rylie is thankful for...fellow Dueling CLs!
Viktor - We haven't seen Viktor since May the 4th, and it's nice to have him back for his fifth career game. He's looking for his first ever top-six finish. He is thankful for...Rise of Skywalker reaction videos!
BB-8 PREDICTS THE WINNER:
Wow! That's a big prediction, as Obi-Wan is second to last in the character rankings. We'll see! BB-8 is 1-3 on the season...
That's all for now! If you'd like to come on by, we're playing at 7PM, November 9th, in the North Village Community Center!
