Sean Doolitte is clearly a huge Star Wars fan. His girlfriend? Not so much.
Doolittle, a closer for the Oakland Athletics, surprised his girlfriend with opening night tickets to see the SciFi thriller. She was, shall we say, less than thrilled. The couple chronicled their “date” on Twitter, and it’s pretty hilarious stuff.
First, he surprised her with an “outfit.”
"I bought you a new outfit," he said. "We're going out tonight," he said. "Go try it on," he said. This is garbage. pic.twitter.com/Dj3pEFhf9Q

She followed up that tweet by pleading with Major League Baseball to start the season again.
Attn. @mlb: please start the season again. My BF has too much time on his hands. pic.twitter.com/buiKHAwKuc

Meanwhile, he was loving it.

Even Brandon McCarthy, the best professional athlete on Twitter, chimed in.

They even took a “movie poster pic.”

I feel like, in a way, we are all this couple. Some of us love Star Wars and have been dying to see this movie for months. Others, and I fall in this category, have never seen a full Star Wars film start to finish and have very little knowledge of what is going on outside of “Luke, I am your father.”
I’ll eventually be dragged by my friends to see this movie, too. Everyone will love it, and I will have no idea what is going on. If I had to guess what happens, some good Space Guys™ defeat some bad Space Guys™ with their sweet laser guns on some fictitious planet in some fictitious galaxy right before everything goes to shit.
Is that right? Probably. I have no idea. At the very least, I can guarantee you I won’t be forced into some costume to watch it. That, alone, is a major victory..

I don’t think she was too mad about the whole thing, she has a Star Wars phone case and her Twitter name is a reference to Alderaan, a planet in Star Wars.
She also tweeted it was a joke.
Stay off the comment sections on TFM. Some of the more nefarious commenters are dropping spoilers. Or lies. Not sure which.
Darth Vader turns out to be Luke’s Aunt Beatrice.
Son of a bitch
Heard Captain Kirk kills Luke.
I’m not even a Star Wars fan, that’s just a dick thing to do.
It’s too late for me. I feel violated.
My GF already said she won’t wear the outfit 🙁
Dump her.
Side note, Heart of the Sea bombed and got terrible reviews, plus Chris Hemsworth is emaciated in it. Go see Star Wars.
I want the Indians to trade for this guy.
More importantly why is this overly grown-out roots look suddenly a “chic” hair trend?
Don’t care about her hair, she’s hot
I thought that was called “ombre”…
Ombré is at least a little bit more subtle.
