1. Nice!

Very well done video. Even if you're a Clinton-ite, like many here are, you have to like this! And Lucas is a lib too, so he probably appreciate's it.

2. I don't like Star Wars but that was

:thumbsup:

PS : so, Ashy Larry, how are the Marcy Projects? ;)

[The Doctor.]

8. I like Star Wars, and that was

kinda' stupid.

If only because it cast Hillary and Bill as Darth Vader and the Emperor, respectively. No question about it, the decrepit old emperor should have been McCain.

[ForeignSpectator]

14. True, THAT should have been mccain... n/t

[RaleighNCDUer]

56. Strictly speaking, it should be Poppy Bush

but the referents were all inter-party, concerning the war for the soul of the the Democratic party - not the soul of the nation.

So with Bill as the Emperor of the DLC, and Hill as his padawan, I can see it.

72. George Lucas says Obama is a hero in the making

The Empire Strikes Barack

Yahoo News reports today that George Lucas, speaking from Japan on a promotional tour for Crystal Skull, called Democratic nominee Barack Obama “a hero in the making” following his delegate wins in the presidential primaries yesterday:

“We have a hero in the making back in the United States today because we have a new candidate for president of the United States, Barack Obama,” Lucas said when asked who his childhood heroes were.

Obama, “for all of us that have dreams and hope, is a hero,” Lucas said.

[CoffeeCat]

13. Wow, this was really cool!

I love "Star Wars" and this race truly encapsulates
the struggles in "Star Wars."

Good v evil.....warmongering v peacemakers...fear v hope.

(Robert Reich would have made a great Ewok though.)

My only suggestion is that Yoda should have been an important elder Democrat, Al Gore perhaps?

[RaleighNCDUer]

57. Jimmy Carter.

Gore was Mace Windu - struck down in Episode 3.

32. k and r nt

[iamjoy]

33. I Refuse To Watch It

I am trying really hard to avoid giving the Republicans any more fodder for the GE should my favored candidate not win.

Since others indicated the Clintons were the bad guys while McCain and the rest of the Bush Clan was nowhere to be found, I saw no need to watch it.

[dana_b]

34. Thank you for making me smile!!

:yourock:

[cascadiance]

35. Help us Obama-wan! You're our only hope!

[Indenturedebtor]

Very well done.

[knitter4democracy]

37. Hillary as Darth Vader?

Umm . . . no. Cheney's Darth Vader. Rove's the Emperor. Let's keep straight who our real enemies are, and they're not fellow Dems.

[file83]

58. You're right, she'd not Darth Vader. She's DARTH MAUL!!!

[Apollo11]

70. Very clever

Although I don't endorse comparing Hillary Clinton with Darth Vader, I have to admit it does kind of make sense in the context of this clip.

I also have to admit that the scene with Hillary drinking in the Mos Eisley Cantina was hilarious! B-)

[NJmaverick]
