For a Star Wars nut, he seems to be somewhat unclear about what actually happens in the films. In what sense is Yoda not on the lighter of the force, and how would anyone seeing Howard as Yoda and Rudd as Luke correspond with the Rebel Alliance defeating the Empire? Now, if people saw Howard as the Emperor, that would make sense. But Luke vanquishing Yoda doesn't... I mean... Did they screen a different version in Australia or something?<BR/><BR/><I>I can't think of anyone in the Star Wars universe old enough to be Ming Cambell</I><BR/><BR/>I've a feeling Jabba the Hut is the oldest character in Star Wars, so that's our Ming.<BR/><BR/><I>I reckon David Cameron as Jar Jar Binks. I certainly don't think that he'd find many people comparing him to Luke Skywalker...</I><BR/><BR/>Oh, I would. Clearly, Blair is Anakin/Vader and Thatcher is the Emperor, so it's obvious that Cameron is Luke. Of course, he's an alternate Luke, who chooses the Dark Side at the end of 'Jedi'.<BR/><BR/>Brown is Lando Calrissian - we've absolutely no idea whose side he's on.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
