The Star Wars Clip 'So This Is How Liberty Dies...With Thunderous Applause' Has Been Associated With The Bush Administration From The Beginning

Notice the startling similarities between the Bush's speech after 9/11 and a political scene from "Revenge Of The Sith" segment of the Star Wars movies...


President Bush Addresses Congress and the Nation After 911




Compare to this video from Star Wars;

Video: So this is how Liberty dies... with thunderous applause

 


See?


Note: In the mainstream it's generally associated with the Bush 2005 inauguration; Article: 'So This Is How Liberty Dies...With Thunderous Applause'


"So this is how liberty dies...with thunderous applause."
Such was ominously stated by the fictional character Padmé Amidala (Natalie Portman) in "Star Wars III: The Revenge of the Sith" as she watched Emperor Palpatine tell a cheering Senate that he had taken all power away from them to form a Galactic Empire (h/t NBer bradbenj5952).
As the film was released in May 2005 shortly after George W. Bush's second inauguration, there were many in the media who saw a parallel between the events depicted and what was going on in our nation.
A former Wall Street Journal editor asked "Is Bush a Sith Lord?" Years later, Hillary Clinton called Dick Cheney Darth Vader.
Yet, if you watch this scene now, given what transpired during the presidential campaign last year and the cheering masses at Tuesday's inauguration, mightn't this have been a rather prescient foreshadowing of events in the future (video embedded below the fold):
