Yahoo News reports today that George Lucas, speaking from Japan on a promotional tour for Crystal Skull, called Democratic nominee Barack Obama “a hero in the making” following his delegate wins in the presidential primaries yesterday:

“We have a hero in the making back in the United States today because we have a new candidate for president of the United States, Barack Obama,” Lucas said when asked who his childhood heroes were.

Obama, “for all of us that have dreams and hope, is a hero,” Lucas said.

    C’mon George, Obama a hero??? Idol maybe but not a hero. Savvy politician but not a hero. Jeez, the way people throw around the hero term these days, you have to suck to NOT be a hero.
