  1. Obama: Critical hit, bitch!

    Dude at right: OK, you couldn't even HAVE a light saber? We haven't even RUN Barrier Peaks in this campaign? Plus, you know, that's a light saber of backbiting, so, you know, joke's on you.

    First Lady: I'm totally going home with that guy.

  8. Fencer: "Well, that's okay, Barack, but with the limp wrist and all, you don't strike me as a form VII practitioner... Maybe Return of the Jedi Palpatine fighting style is more your speed"
    Obama: "But I like Windu the best!"

  9. You'd think that the white house could afford those $150 awesome replicas, instead of the $15 cheapo two foot long ones.

  12. Obama: Hello. My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die.
    Other Guy: Stop saying that! And since that's a light saber, that makes me your father.
