“Thank you, good night, and may the force be with you,” she said to applause.

The Twitter account @Yoda — which is not verified on Twitter and not affiliated with the film franchise — tweeted approvingly moments after the remarks.

Clinton’s comment was seemingly an echo of President Obama, who on Friday wrapped up an hour-long end-of-the-year press conference by saying, “OK, everybody, I got to get to 'Star Wars.’ ”

He was heading to a screening of the film being hosted by first lady Michelle Obama at the White House that afternoon for families of service members.

According to Wookiepedia, he's a member of an unknown species, from an unknown world. He's wanted by the empire as one of the last remnants of an outlawed secret society. He died on the planet Dagobah six months after the battle of Hoth (which in our planet's years, could be considered 1983 CE)

So. Hillary Clinton is receiving endorsements, and votes, from deceased illegal aliens, huh?

and some comic relief on a site dripping with drama, before you pound the table
with the fact that Yoda is a fictional character and this is just childish hogwash...before you piss on the
petunias, just a bit of an uncomfortable fact, Yoda has about 10 times the Facebook likes that Killer Mike
has. And he ISN'T real. That speaks volumes.
