Is Donald Trump as dangerous as Darth Vader? Well, the Dark Lord of the Sith and his evil colleagues blew up Alderaan, Princess Leia's home planet. And "Star Wars" creator George Lucas, it seems, believes Trump could blow up Earth.

That's why Lucas "proposed the idea" for a political ad that is now running in the key battleground state of Ohio, former Democratic Sen. Bill Bradley told "With All Due Respect" co-host Mark Halperin on Tuesday.

The TV spot offers no lightsabers or Death Stars. The "Star Wars" universe, after all, is now owned by Disney. Instead, the inspiration was the Lyndon Johnson campaign's famed "Daisy" ad from 1964. The advertisement warned viewers that President Johnson's opponent, Barry Goldwater, could cause nuclear annihilation.

Just putting this on here, since no one covered this ad AFAIK. And yeah, you read that right, Lucas reused the Daisy attack ad that caused LBJ to win and made Vietnam nearly impossible to win.
