now if we take the political truism: "there could be no rebellion without darth vader" and extend it to the current political climate, the person who plays the role of darth vader is too obvious to mention.
the question then becomes, is barack obama a luke skywalker figure, and does his character arc between idealistic farmboy to cold-eyed jedi knight peak before or after the iowa caucus?
is hillary clinton a princess leia or a grand moff tarkin?
is john edwards more like biggs or wedge antilles? which is to say is he the eternal wingman or doomed to go down in flames?
and is kucinich an admiral akbar, or is that a mere physical resemblance.
discuss.
