    Darth Vader started out as a jedi too.

  2. superfecta says at 3:51 pm, June 25th, 2008

    Obama doesn’t have to wear the stupid rat-tail as in the films that suck, though, right?

  3. NotUrEvryDayWEzl says at 3:52 pm, June 25th, 2008

    Does that make us Younglings?

  4. shortsshortsshorts says at 3:53 pm, June 25th, 2008

    So now it should be Lucas’ next endeavor to make an epic-film about Congress and remake 17 or 18 more times.

  5. ManchuCandidate says at 3:54 pm, June 25th, 2008

    Not Mace. He lost and I hated all but 1/6th of the prequels.

    Barry’s has got to be Lando Calrissian.

  6. stankfest says at 3:55 pm, June 25th, 2008

    Obama reminds me of Jar-Jar Binks.

    …all the “Star Wars” analogies have been completely played out already. Can we move onto another Sci-Fi series? May I suggest the Matrix, Barry can be Neo and Michell can be Trinity!

  9. Quacker says at 3:56 pm, June 25th, 2008

    Larry Craig as C3PO.

  10. OK…apparently this happens to be true. Watch this…

    And after your done sit down and think long and hard about your Hopey hope and ponder whether it is truly indeed your hope or if you’re just a Hopey dope being pulled along by a Hopey rope.

  11. Quacker says at 3:57 pm, June 25th, 2008

    Kucinich as R2D2

  12. Lionel Hutz Esq. says at 3:57 pm, June 25th, 2008

    George is obviously a Hillary supporter. Remember what happened to the last black Jedi. Didn’t the slaughter of the Younglings happen in June?

  13. Godless Liberal * says at 3:57 pm, June 25th, 2008

    And with that, Obama hops onto his motorcycle and goes sailing over a shark tank.

  14. Lionel Hutz Esq. says at 3:59 pm, June 25th, 2008

    ManchuCandidate:

    So you think Obama is only good enough to run an out-of-the-way mine that the Empire doesn’t even care about?

  15. AngryBlakGuy:
    I like the thought of Republicans trying to get renewed like on “Logan’s Run”.

  16. “And although Lucas’ movies are filled with high-tech graphics and visual wizardry, he says they’re nothing compared with Congress, telling us that getting things done there is much more complicated than his movies’ special effects. “Anyone who’s seen one of my movies knows that’s saying something about Congress,” he said.”

    Why doesn’t Congress just use the old Lucas trick of standing in one place and using cameras to make it seem as though they are moving forward? Oh, wait…

  17. Hope may not be available as shown.
    Some assembly may be required.
    Individual states may vary.
    Hope void where prohibited.

  18. WhatTheHeck says at 4:10 pm, June 25th, 2008

    McCain: “Young Jedi, come learn from an old master such as I. I have been around for 300 years living in the hot sands of Arizona.”

  19. Walter Sobchak says at 4:12 pm, June 25th, 2008

    Q2: Don’t read the comments under that youtube video unless you like hating communism, and think Hopey is a communist, and are afraid of brown people, and still live in your mom’s basement.

  20. shortsshortsshorts says at 4:18 pm, June 25th, 2008

    Walter Sobchak: Its all one guy too, “introvertical71″

    Kinda entertaining.

  21. Serolf Divad says at 4:18 pm, June 25th, 2008

    Will Obama be played by Samuel Jackson, then?

  22. NotUrEvryDayWEzl says at 4:19 pm, June 25th, 2008

    AngryBlakGuy: You confuse me. Who is Morpheus?

  23. Serolf Divad: Obama can only be played by Will Smith. It’s all about the ears.

  24. edgydrifter says at 4:24 pm, June 25th, 2008

    NotUrEvryDayWEzl: George Soros, obviously.

  25. NotUrEvryDayWEzl says at 4:30 pm, June 25th, 2008
  26. gbuell says at 4:34 pm, June 25th, 2008

    Obama vs. Hillary earlier this month http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MjnD6NdC3e4

    Hopefully this isn’t Obama vs. McCain later though http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mu_XLDlDWLQ

    (if you’re wondering, Anakin in that video represents Hilltard defectors)

  27. Walter Sobchak: Oh Walter Walter Walter, the planet is certainly not short on the confused and ignorant is it.

  28. AngryBlakGuy says at 4:40 pm, June 25th, 2008

    NotUrEvryDayWEzl: …Morpheus can be Al Sharpton or Jesse Jackson(Im grasping for straws here)

    Servo: …hehehe yeah that would be hilarious.

  29. keepinitrealyo says at 7:38 pm, June 25th, 2008

    Every moment that Lucas is testifying before Congress is one less that he might have spent destroying his legacy. So it turns out they’re not as useful as they appear.

  30. keepinitrealyo says at 7:39 pm, June 25th, 2008

    keepinitrealyo: Haha, I meant “useless!” Great comedy works either way.

  31. hopeforbill says at 8:39 pm, June 25th, 2008

    AxmxZ: You could get the guy that did Spock’s ears … oops, sorry, different franchise.

  32. itgetter says at 11:12 pm, June 25th, 2008

    stankfest: That’s not racial transcendence

  33. ThreeFingersNeat says at 9:10 am, June 26th, 2008

    Godless Liberal *: “The shark, this has jumped.”
