It must be no accident that just below this article is an article about drones. Is there anything that says empire like faceless killing machines? Even Storm Troopers were clones, so they were living beings, albeit without the same range of human emotions. Lucas wasn't far off, he apparently just wasn't dreaming big enough!

somewhat related: I was at Obama's inauguration. You may recall that VP Cheney was in a wheel chair then. When they wheeled him out on to the platform, the entire area I was in started chanting the Emperors Theme http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L6W6Agqujpw

Cheney had to hear it. I sure hope he did. I sang it as loudly as I could through a giant victorious grin.
