Star Wars Parallel

[Nick Seng]

This just occured to me... In Attack of the Clones, Palpatine used a war to make the Galactic Council look useless and eventually took control over it. And we know how that ended. Does this sound like the Bush and UN to you?? ps. this isn't really well thought out and I'm not really serious. Notorious SMC

Uhm.. we all know what happened to the empire in the end. Are you predicting that the rebels (fanatic muslims) will win in the end? :rolleyes: Wasn't there a scene in Hot Shots Part Deux where George Bush Sr. fought against Saddam using light sabres? :) -- Shine, enlighten me - shine Shine, awaken me - shine Shine for all your suffering - shine

Actually the thought just poped up while doing some work in the office ;) And as for the second part, follow the links above! I thought I was original, but apparently not:-D Notorious SMC

I've thought that for a long while but then I'm a sad geek who thinks about everything in Star Wars terms But would that make Tony Blair the Anakin Skywalker character. A good man corrupted by the dark side? Mind you Cherie Blair doesn't look anything like Natalie Portman ;-) Michael 'War is at best barbarism...Its glory is all moonshine. It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, more vengeance, more desolation. War is hell.' - General William Sherman, 1879

Yes there was, although I don;t think it was meant to be Bush snr, Saddam refered to him as "Oh big one" - Obi wan, before he got frozen solid and smashed like a T1000.

Binks was fooled by Palpatine in starting the Clone wars (giving him power in the senate). ----------------------- New and improved: kwakkelflap.com My second CP article: MAP files[^] while (!:bob:.IsDrunk()) { :bob:.Drink( :beer: ); }
