As we all know, Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith was about as tense and dramatic as a Sudafed. But what if George Lucas wasn't going for drama at all? What if the flick was political – just one big Death Star blast at the Bush Administration?

And Iran's out-of-control Revolutionary Guards – the ones who fund Hezbollah and kidnap British soldiers – they gotta be ... Jedi knights?
Right. So who's Yoda?
