I’ll just take this opportunity to vent that the Midichlorian explanation for the Force was the stupidest revelation in a long string of stupid ideas that Lucas added to the new films.

From what I’ve heard, they’re over 9,000.

Jay, I was just going to leave a comment saying that I was going to say something similar to SpiderJ’s 11:42.

Yoda was clearly a Democrat.

@Spider

I think you’re on to something here.

Huh. The Palpatine/Vader parallel to McCain/Lieberman seems more appropriate when you consider that Anakin used to be the shining paragon of the Jedi, turned to the dark side by the promise of greater power.

I can only assume you’ve never looked at pictures of Palpatine and Joe Liebermann next to one another, or you wouldn’t ask this.

See, I knew Sith lords traveled in pairs.

“Does this make McCain into Emperor Palpatine?”

But what comes after Luke Skywalker? After meaning the middle years of his life. Does Skywalker take on the task of training new Jedi?

No, rikyrah–a regular commenter over at Prometheus 6–has already awarded that role to Ms. Clinton as Hilpatine.

Palpatine never flip-flopped on torture. He was very clearly in favor of it the whole time.

George, I appreciate your support, but whatever you do keep your writing hand away from my candidate’s speeches.

I knew he reminded me of someone.
