I soooooo don't believe this, but... Savvy Centrists: Well, actually, Yoda actually was too old, failed to prevent the Sith from taking power, and the galaxy fell to the dark side because of it.

🤓But in the star wars radio drama part of Obi-wan convincing Luke to join him in finding Liea was to mention how he was getting too old and needed his help and he was right, Luke did eventually defeat Vader, not Obi-wan

Isn't that literally what Obi-Wan did when he let Vader strike him down.

Let's ask Obi-Wan about his age, but under no circumstance ask Darth Vader about blowing up Alderaan.

Canonically, Obi wan had two opportunities to destroy Vader. He balked! Not strong enough when it counts. Clearly, it's time for Senator Leia Organa.

Just going to point out that in this particular metaphor I buy Eric and Ivanka making out, but not that they bring balance to the force, or that Jared Kushner is Han Solo

Some people are forgetting that Luke wouldn't have blown up the Death Star except ghost Obi-Wan reminded him to use the Force. He also would have failed if that smuggler hadn't saved his butt at the last minute. Luke wasn't much use until he got old, and a woman dragged him back into the fight.

Yes, I know some people are saying Leia should replace him, and I assure you that *I* would vote for Leia, but I'm just not sure the rest of the galaxy is ready for that yet.

Had Biden done better but still seemed old, the headlines would be the same, but with Yoda vs. palpatine as the image.

I had the unfortunate realization as Biden walked out on stage Thursday night that he walks just like C3PO. And Trump walks like a wounded AT-AT.

Ken I have a serious question - maybe you've already covered it. But I've been thinking about the Kennedy case and how it was brought on total lies. He wasn't fired, it wasn't private and it was definitely coercive - I know ppl who went to some of those games. Is there not a way to call bullshit?

Biden supporters are hostile and defensive right now. Be careful out there, unless you don’t care what any “influencers” think. Why would any grown man or woman want to be a Twitter influencer?

Ken I read that op-ed and you're wildly mischaracterizing it. It said; Obi-wan needs to step aside and let Senator Palpatine continue to destroy entire nonbipedal mammal based societies for the good of Naboo so it can trickle down to Coruscant, Tattooine, Alderaan and more! (Alderaan is Ukraine, so)

Are you really trying to relitigate that? Darth Vader won. Ergo, Biden got Trump elected, JUST LIKE HILLARY.
