Limmie

Legends Canon version → Linked from 42 articles

Legends. This article is part of Legends: the expanded-universe stories that Lucasfilm set apart from canon in 2014.

Limmie, also called bolo-ball depending on the location, was a sport. The Galactic Cup of Limmie was composed of many teams throughout the galaxy.

Though a popular sport on many planets, it was almost ignored on Coruscant. Even Galactic Cup matches held on Coruscant were poorly attended, and HoloNet News sportswriters did not seem to fully understand the rules. By contrast, the people of the planet Fwillsving were highly enthusiastic limmie fans. After Fwillsving's team defeated Kubindi in a 22 BBY Galactic Cup match, the ensuing celebrations left the city of Svitalos in ruins. Limmie was the favorite sport of Mandalorians and clone commandos. In Mando'a, the game was called mesh'geroya—the beautiful game. In 0 BBY the Galactic Cup was put on hiatus after the destruction of Alderaan, and Team Alderaan was dissolved.
