THE THANG: STAR WARS – RISE OF THE REBELLION
Count off 1s & 2s, then proceed with 3 rounds of competition to decide the fate of the galaxy.
Round 1 – Blockade Runners
Imperials line up across the parking lot while Rebels run a lap around the third light pole and back. Each Imperial must complete 30 merkins and be holding a squat by the time the first Rebels return. Any Imperial caught will be captured and forced to run for the Rebels. Rebels regroup to start each lap. Rebels have 8 rounds to break the entire blockade. Switch roles and repeato.
Round 2 – Hoth Escape
Rebels are in the first parking spot, Imperials are at the second light pole to start their march. Rebels must complete a group total of 75 WWI’s per person before the Imperials make it to the snow works.
Only crab walking is allowed between the speed bumps. Rebels can pay 5 burpees at base to reload one harpoon at a time and tag an Imperial, who then must then perform 10 burpees. Rebels can run back on their tauntauns after harpooning. Rebels win by completing all WWI’s, Imperials win by reaching the Rebel snow base. Switch roles and repeato if time.
Round 3 – Hero Battle
Rebels and Imperials face off from opposing parking spaces. Each PAX battles the other side’s hero 1:1. First to complete the assigned set of exercises wins that battle. Keep track of your wins, plank for the six, and Rebels rotate down the line to face a new opponent after each round.

– Mountain climbers (2ct) x 50
– Superman’s x 50
Mary – Celebrate the Victory (aka Dealer’s Choice) to time
MOLESKINE: The feedback on every round was boisterous. Many were saying how easy it was and asked for a harder challenge. Okay it was the opposite of that, even YHC felt it today. Pole Dancer and Subway played the part of the Rebels to start each round, leaving Newbery, SalPal, and YHC as the Imperials.
First round was a burner, much huffing and puffing by all. No blockades made it all 8 rounds, I think the Imperials made it 5 rounds and the Rebels made it 6.
Second round was no less of a burner. The Rebels were fairly quickly overwhelmed in their first bout, not having grasped the importance of loading a harpoon in advance. The Imperials took a turn defending and were within 10 WWI’s of winning before a sneak attack from Subway stopped them and forced a retreat via transport for the next round.
Third round may have been the most affected by the unbalanced teams as the Rebels had to compete in every round while the Imperials had a man sitting out in an active hold only to cycle in somewhat fresher for the next exercise. Nonetheless the round scores were 6-4, pretty close!
