If you've clicked on this FanPost, you surely know about the upcoming Han "Seago" Bobblehead promotion (pictured above. Since it was announced, the promotion's drawn a fair amount of criticism for seemed a bit forced. "Han"-fisted, if you will. Our own Zach Gottschalk had the temerity to rank the Han Seago promotion #16 in his rankings of the 2018 promotions:

The problem is, there’s so much missed potential. Han Seago? Seriously? After nailing it in the past with Taijuan "Sky" Walker, we’re okay with Han Seago? First, there’s the obvious Obi-Wan Cano-bi opportunity. What about Leake Skywalker? Qui Gon Jean? I’m disappointed, Mariners.

I am a big Star Wars fan. This is not a point in my favor, but I wondered if the Han Seago promotion was a bit forced (hehehe..."Force[d]") as a tie-in to "Solo: A Star Wars Story." And then, during the recent series against the White Sox I spotted an ad for a "Hawk Solo Bobblehead" giveaway. It is what you think it is, and you can put those bobbleheads in the gaaaaaarbage...YES!

If you are wondering if there is a point to this FanPost, there is. After spending a fair amount of research, may I present you with a list of all the 2018 "Solo: A Star Wars Story" MLB promotional tie-ins (excluding general "Star Wars Night" promotions) that I could find. Some of them are good. Some of them are--if you can believe it--much worse than "Han Seago." If you've seen any of the "Solo" trailers and thought Lando stole the show, he seems to do the same here. Anyway, on with the show:
