Limmie

From Wookieepedia, the Star Wars wiki.

Team Coruscant against Team Fondor at the BlasTech Gikosphere on Coruscant.

Limmie, also called bolo-ball on non-Core Worlds, 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.

[edit] Behind the scenes

Limmie's relative unpopularity on Coruscant, combined with its fanatical following in other parts of the Galaxy (where it is known by another name) seems to parallel the real-world sport of Football. Much like Limmie, football (soccer) is relatively unpopular in the United States, but is the most popular sport in many other parts of the world (where it is usually called football instead of soccer) The incident of what one might call "Limmie hooliganism" in Svitalos also resembles real-life soccer/football hooliganism.
