    lUkE sHoUlD eArN mY vOtE!!! You won’t shame me into voting for him! I don’t care if Vader wins - not my fault! Lalalalala not listening! Down with the duopoly! We will just become ungovernable! Anyone else here voting for Lando?

    There did I hit all the points? U••••••••M••• or L•••••B••• want to chime in and let me know if I missed anything?

      The proper analogy to this election would be if Luke and Vader both had death stars, both had blown up a planet, but Luke’s campaign promise was that he’ll blow up fewer planets than Vader will.

    The Rebels were revolutionaries, not electoral candidates. A more accurate meme would be about voting for Grand Moff Tarkin or Darth Vader, with Leftists siding with the Rebels. George Lucas himself said Star Wars was inspired by the Vietnam War, and the rebels represented the Viet Cong and the Empire represented the US.
