SubscribeIs Barack Obama a Jedi Knight? Ask George Lucas
“Star Wars” creator George Lucas can't help but compare some of his movie characters to modern politicians.
Lucas appeared on Capitol Hill yesterday morning to testify at the House Committee on Energy and Commerce Telecommunications and the Internet subcommittee hearing on universal service (huh?).
But he was cagey when it came to the Washington Examiner's Yeas and Nays blog' question: “Who is President Bush more like: Luke Skywalker or Darth Vader?”
“It’s up to the viewer,” he responded.
When asked what he thinks of Vice President Dick Cheney’s nickname -- “Darth Vader” -- Lucas wouldn’t say if he thought it was an accurate description of the veep.
But he did say that Cheney “seems to like” the nickname.
Heck, I bet Cheney came up with it himself and practices the raspy Vadar voice when he looks in the mirror every morning.
Lucas did, however, have one firm answer: Barack Obama is definitely a Jedi knight. “I would say that’s reasonably obvious,” he said.
But at least one Star Wars fan thinks George Bush may also secretly be a Jedi Knight. Click HERE to see the truth.

Hmm, The Jedi Order, a dominate force for good in the universe, but unable to detect the flaws in the young, inexperienced apprentice; said apprentice singly handily destroys the Jedi order.
Obama=Jedi, yeah, I can see it.

Look at the last two comments. The article has one sentence about Obama, yet the title and the haters all refer to Obama. Obama is the show all the time!

Obama methinks is Jedi yes. When me said "There is Another" in Return of Jedi movie me meant Obama. He defeat the dark side can. Obama in 2008 vote me will. The force strong with him is.

If the most evil villian in Star Wars was a politician in disguise, maybe we shouldn't be so quick to say either Bush or Obama could be Jedi.

He is a Jedi of our day, of our world...and the Sith Lords in the White House know it. Jogn "The Sith Lord" McSame isn't happy to be facing against one so strong in the force.
