Wikileaks Wars



The idea for this cartoon came to me almost immediately upon learning of Julian Assange's threat for unleashing his "thermonuclear device" (of course, in Return of the Jedi, it's actually a Thermal Detonator, but close enough).
It made sense for Secretary of State Hillary Clinton to be C-3PO, since his is the diplomatic role, and thanks to Spaceballs it's not a huge leap to turn 3PO into a female.
Stephen Harper is Salacious Crumb, which seemed a fitting role, considering he's seen as an Obama lap-dog -- that is, according to the Wikileaks releases.
