Obama as Luke Skywalker

Oh the Daily Show, you never fail to be awesome.

While the media is calling Obama "the comeback kid." Stewart had a better analogy for his success, a three-trilogy analogy.

"He's not a kid," Stewart said. "He's Luke Skywalker"

He began with a general comparison that like Luke Skywalker of "Star Wars," Obama is also a "skinny kid with a funny name who came out of nowhere." Stewart then launched into a lengthy analogy spanning "New Hope," "Empire Strikes Back", "Return Of The Jedi" and even one of the prequels.

Aside from flexing his nerdy knowledge of "Star Wars," Stewart made detailed comparisons including Sarah Palin to a Wampa, Democrats to Wookies and Storm Troopers to Republicans.
