Lucas calls Obama a Jedi
Friday, June 27th, 2008
You might want to change Barack Obama’s name to Obama-Wan Kenobi? While appearing on Capitol Hill to testify at the House Committee on Energy and Commerce Telecommunications, George Lucas was asked about politicians being characters in the Star Wars universe.
When proded if Senator Barack Obama was a Jedi Knight, Lucas responded, “I would say that is reasonably obvious.”
Maybe Barack is related to Samuel L. Jackson’s character, Mace Windu? If that’s the case, not only would he be the first black president, but also the second black Jedi in the universe.
Barack should play-up his new Jedi status. He could lure the elusive geek vote.
Instead of “Change”, he could talk about ‘The Force’ that binds everything together.
Barack has said that John McCain is really four more years of Bush? He should just call it ‘The Clone Wars’?
I do know, that there is one person who really needs Obama-Wan Kenobi’s help! (more…)
