The force is with Obama, 'Star Wars' creator says

George Lucas has created legendary film heroes like Luke Skywalker and Indiana Jones, but the US director says that in real life, his hero is Barack Obama.

Lucas was in Japan on Wednesday to promote his latest film, "Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull," as Obama clinched the Democratic Party's nomination for president.

"We have a hero in the making back in the United States today because we have a new candidate for president of the United States, Barack Obama," Lucas said when asked who his childhood heroes were.

Obama, "for all of us that have dreams and hope, is a hero," Lucas said.

Lucas is the creator of the blockbuster "Star Wars" series, as well as the adventures of the swashbuckling archaeologist Indiana Jones, played by Harrison Ford.

Obama on Tuesday sealed the Democratic contest after a marathon battle with Hillary Clinton, becoming the first black White House candidate nominated by a major party.

George, you have so much money you could lose half of it and never notice. Barak Hussien Obama appreciates your future financial contribution to his cause.

Moron...

Maybe he should steer clear of politics and stick to ruining the favorite movies of my childhood with bad prequels and overcooked CGI.

Agreed.

"Hero" as defined by a man who can't write or direct his way out of a paper bag.

Obama, "for all of us that have dreams and hope, is a hero," Lucas said.

So it is mental illness that explains why Episodes 1–3 are so bad.

More “change” and “hope”

So glad these liberal blowhards have zeroed in on our country’s ills.

But it is kind of ironic that Obama wants to kill the ‘Star Wars’ program.

They could call it Barack Obama and the Kingdom of the Infant Skulls. You wouldn't even need digital "special effects" for the horror.

Some hero.

What is it with Hollow Wood? How can they be so stupid?

Have they ever heard of 9/11?

What do they think is next from the Islamofascists?

Hope. Dreams. Change.

It’s pretty depressing that this country has been dumbed down so much by the media that saying those three words over and over is all it takes to be the presidential nominee of a major party.

I’m still waiting for one of these supporters to explain their support for the Chosen One™ with answer that goes beyond any one of those three meaningless words.

Moron.

This is why we ended up with Ewoks and Jar-Jar Binks.
