I felt awful. Had I been too hard on Vice? Lucas explained politely as I listened contritely. Anakin Skywalker is a promising young man who is turned to the dark side by an older politician and becomes Darth Vader. “George Bush is Darth Vader,” he said. “Cheney is the emperor.”[/quote] I bet the first thing she said in response was "REALLY?"[/quote]
