Karl Rove = General Tarkin. In charge of all the battle plans until his viciousness and overconfidence lead the whole thing to blow up in his face.

Bill Clinton as Yoda: Everybody acts like he’s the wise, all-powerful, all-knowing political master but really what does he do besides sit around saying a bunch of stuff that doesn’t turn out to be very helpful?

Sarah Palin as Jar Jar: Inserted into the campaign to excite the youth voters and jump start toy sales to the fan base, but very quickly discovered to be worthless and annoying. Finds herself way over her head when she’s inexplicably made a general in the battle for Naboo/Michigan. After a huge roll out, she’s gets almost no face time ever again. (Yeah, okay, this doesn’t hold to the Democrats/Rebellion vs. Republicans/Empire… but neither does Palin = Leia.)

Eric is right: Howard Dean = Chewbacca. All anyone remembers is the noise he made.

Sean is right: Hillary Clinton = Lando Calrissian. Tries to betray the rebellion for her own selfish gain but ends up fighting with Obama Skywalker in the final battle.

Chewbacca – Nancy Pilosi. She’ll watch the Democrat’s back and shoots from the hip.
Yoda – Daniel Shorr – having covered the world for more than 60 years, he’s old and wise and has seen Jedi masters come and go.
C3PO – Bill Clinton – a little pesty and has a lot to say, not all of it useful but he will be loyal in a pinch.
R2D2 – Hillary Clinton – perhaps she’s relegated to muttering under her breath at this point but she’s still loyal and a force to be reckoned with.
Lando Calrissian – Ariana Huffington – a turncoat but a charming one at that.
Boba Fett – Karl Rove – Better watch your back, this one’s evil
Admiral Ackbar – General Raymond Odierno – taking over our lovely war in Iraq, a loyal soldier
Jar Jar Binks – Ralph Nadar – getting to be a real pest
Jabba the Hut – Vladimir Putin – Has a lot of power in his own realm and could be a danger to the rest of us soon. Will send out secret agents to destroy his enemies.

Lando Calrissian – Bill Clinton. Eminently cool and charismatic but not very trustworthy when you need him most.

Luke Skywalker – is Obama the savior of the formerly defunct Jedi order and marks the return of enlightenment and the defeat of the evil empire.

Leia – Palin? Ok, but only the Leia that was chained by the neck and scantily clad in a bikini to Jabba the Hut (McCain) with a yoke. At the most maybe Jar-Jar cute but ok if not in any more feature films.
