Recast the Star Wars movies with Bush Regime and even democrats!!

[LynneSin]

Imagine we're remaking Star Wars but the people hired to play the roles will be current politicos we have in DC and even govenors. Who do you pick for what role?

Example:

John Conyers as Obi-Wan Kenobi: Hell even listening to Conyers with his investigation he still has that wise-sage characteristics of Obi-wan

Joe Lieberman as Jar-Jar Binks: This is a good one because both are very well meaning but irritating as hell. And remember it was Jar-Jar Binks that nominated Palpatine as Supreme Chancellor over the senate in Attack of the Clones.

Dick Cheney as Darth Sidious - need I say more?

What picks do you have

[gordianot]

1. Lieberman as Jar-Jar is a good analogy.

However I think he is more closely aligned with the Trade Federation. Joementum has been a tool of Darth Sidious all along.

2. I thought Frist as Jar Jar

He's certainly a clown...

Tom DeLay as Darth Maul

James Dobson as Palpatine?

Conyers could be the older Obi-Wan from the good Star Wars movies...

Anakin has Bush-like qualities - shallow, spoiled, bad temper, too much power at his fingertips.

Who would be Yoda?

3. Sen. Robert Byrd as Yoda

John Kerry as Chewbacca
Bill Clinton as Lando Calrissian
Barbara Boxer as Mon Mothma
Rush Limbaugh as Jabba the Hutt
George Stephanopolous as C3PO
Max Cleland as R2D2
Cynthia McKinney as Princess Leia Organa
John Edwards as Luke Skywalker
Rudy Giuliani as Count Dooku/Lord Tyranus
Strom Thurmond as Grand Moff Tarkin
The Young Ted Kennedy as Han Solo
Rick Santorum as Darth Maul

4. Sorry, I see Rick Santorum as Banthu Droppings

seriously, Darth Maul is too cool to be Santorum.

6. Actually, I was picturing him cut in two pieces....

and falling, falling, falling....call it wishful thinking! But I agree, Darth Maul alive would be way too cool for Rick "poodoo" Santorum.
:hi:

John Edwards - Young Kenobi/Luke Skywalker
John Kerry - Qi-Gon Jin
Bush - Anakin
Cheney - Darth Sidious
General Grievous - Rumsfeld
Rush Limbaugh - Jabba the Hut
Sean Hannity - (that alien monkey thingie)
Alan Colmes - Jar Jar Binks
Jango Fett - Trent Lott
