I was amused by this. For many reasons.

Just when you think they've lost their sense of humor... 8)

Goveernment and sense of humor.
*BZZZT*
Are we on Bizarro Earth?

I sense the humor is strong in these ones ;)
Makes me wish I was American.

I think they would have had a better shot at it being a reality if they asked when D. Cheney was VP. He probably would of had a heart attack falling over himself to get it built and find his Darth Vader outfit.

Big round of applause here. It has just the right balance of nerd humor and actual fact to be worth the read.

The story continues:

I posted this on Facebook the other day. Very funny stuff. I am not a fan of this administration or its ideology but this was legitimately entertaining to me.

If anything it shows that those who grew up watching Star Wars when it first came out are now in positions of power and there are likely some who really like Star Wars and have a sense of humor to boot.

Yeah, I try to stay positive when I can.. Unfortunately, I'm also wrestling with the cynical side of me that sees this and can only be reminded of the best scene of the prequel trilogy.

I think ALL of us are wondering when that moment is going to happen in our reality.

Because it happened in a film, I think there will be great difficulties before it happens here. Look at what we do now with AI development due to nearly (but not totally) all science fiction work beginning with a premise about android/robot/AI programmation error led to them being banned (or dystopia-creating).
Though that didn't stop a company from calling itself Skynet (http://www.skynet.be/)...
(and a salute to my Belgian friends ;-))

Well... there's a lot more involved in that. Most of those robot revolutions were demonstrations of free-will that got misconstrued as malfunctions. We don't have the programming knowledge to create a truly free-thinking machine. 'Maybe' quantum computing will change that.
The Bill of Rights is already being decimated, and has been for a while now.
On a lighter note, after the Death Star idea being shot down, they're onto plan B. https://petitions.whitehouse.gov/petition/sacrificing-all-republicans-order-summon-mothra/J22NkfPF
