Online Series Turns Candidates Into 'Star Wars' Characters
It is never going to stop being okay to spoof 'Star Wars' or to make fun of politicians. Gabe Abelson, a former writer for the Late Show with David Letterman, as well as Bill and Hillary Clinton, obviously knew this when he started working on the second installment of his animated web series 'Race for the White House' (RFTWH).
Barack is Luke Skywalker, Giuliani is Han Solo, Hillary is Princess Leia, and best of all Dick Cheney is a shotgun wielding Obi Wan, who shoots an Ewok in the face.
AniBoom, the year old start up that hosts the series, allows content creators to upload new content and collaborate on traditionL TV concepts. The Comedy Central show 'Lil' Bush' started as a Web short on AniBoom.
