So it turns out that Ken Bone is a Star Wars gamer…

Stormtrooper in Galaxy of Heroes.

The Star Wars Game Outpost doesn’t normally cover political topics.

However, I had to make an exception just this once, as Star Wars gaming and politics recently intertwined.

This crossover is thanks to Ken Bone, whom the Internet made a celebrity after his red-sweatered appearance at Sunday’s Presidential debate. The Shiloh, Illinois resident recently tweeted out that his sudden popularity is causing him to struggle in a certain Star Wars mobile game:

For those wondering who Ken Bone is, he and his red sweater rose to Internet-fame after being called upon at the debate:

It turns out that he wore the sweater to the debate as a “plan B”. He initially planned to wear a suit, but split the seat of his pants the morning of the debate. He’ll be doing a Reddit AMA later this evening to answer any questions you might have.

Bone has been making the rounds in various news broadcasts and late-night talk shows. As such, it’s understandable that he doesn’t have as much time for Galaxy of Heroes. Still, let’s hope he can get a squad arena battle or two in soon!
