        Luke, do you realize that in addition to blueidating milk, why, there are studies underway to blueidate salt, flour, fruit juices, soup, sugar, water… ice cream. Ice cream, Luke, children’s ice cream. You know when blueidation first began? Eight Teen Bee Bee Why, Luke. How does that coincide with your post-war clonie conspiracy, huh? It’s incredibly obvious, isn’t it? A foreign substance is introduced into our precious imperial fluids without the knowledge of the individual. Certainly without any choice. That’s the way your hard-core clonie works.

      Yeah the metaphor doesn’t really work with Star Wars’ electoral system, the candidacies, or Owen Lars’s specific opinions/role. Maybe Nute Gunray saying “The war is over. Lord Sidious promised us peace” and then immediately getting killed is a more apt leopards-eating-face scenario.

        The fact that each planet elects their representatives in different ways definitely fits the US though
