Obi-Wan Kenobi Is Dead, Vader Says
Obi-Wan Kenobi, the mastermind of some of the most devastating attacks on the Galactic Empire and the most hunted man in the galaxy, was killed in a firefight with Imperial forces near Alderaan, Darth Vader announced on Sunday…
From the (ahem) Galactic Empire Times, the awesomest thing on the internets today. It just be RAINING New York Times reboots all up in here.
WOW… think about that dynamic for a second—Obi-Wan Kenobi Osama bin Laden, while fighting (and killing) for what he believes is right must flee to a desert planet country to lay low.
OK, it’s not a perfect comparison (Osama didn’t get caught in the middle of some American-made killing machine trying to rescue a hot princess), but it did make me think about America and its values again. :) America is kind of an empire, ya know, and our military is an awful lot like the Death Star.
Obama may not be Darth Vader, but he *does* have father-issues and *is* black. ;P
WHAT? With the ban on comparing anyone to Hitler, who ELSE are we supposed to use when we want to be critical AND put things in terms the average American schmuck will understand??
