Lucas: Obama more powerful than Skywalker

We all know that Barack Obama has achieved superstar status. But is he an actual hero? Like in the action movie sense?

You betcha! says "Star Wars" creator George Lucas, who was in Washington Wednesday night for the Ford's Theatre reopening celebration where both he and screen legend Sidney Poitier were being honored with the Ford Theatre Society's Lincoln medal in a ceremony attended by President Barack Obama, a Lincoln aficionado.

Lucas says that, in a contest between Luke Skywalker and Obama, our 44th president wins hands down—even without the lightsaber. In addition, Poitier told Politico that Obama's rockstar status is still going strong.
I can't wait for the new Obama Novel to come out.

Why cause he's black? You saying the black Jedi always has to have the purple light saber? :P

Or....maybe because of Mace Windu?

Everyone but Elfdart got the joke, methinks.

A decision must be made in the life of every nation at the very moment when the grasp of the enemy is at its throat. Then, it seems that the only way to survive is to use the means of the enemy, to rest survival upon what is expedient, to look the other way. Well, the answer to that is 'survival as what'? A country isn't a rock. It's not an extension of one's self. It's what it stands for. It's what it stands for when standing for something is the most difficult! - Chief Judge Haywood

Given that Mace Windu, the only black jedi we see has the purple lightsabre, methinks they did get the joke:D


But of course, only ONE guy gets to hold the BMF lightsabre. ONE man.

Everybody knows Mace got down with a bit of the Drank. High-strung motherfucker, smart though; he got that sometimes he needed to slow his roll.
