Michelle Obama will play the wife of Lando Calrissian in the upcoming Star Wars: Episode VII
Hollywood, CA — Disney held a press conference today to announce exciting Star Wars news confirming that none other than Michelle Obama will play a role in Episode VII of the upcoming Star Wars sequel trilogy. Disney says the First Lady will be playing the wife of Cloud City administrator and general in the Rebel Alliance, Lando Calrissian.
Paul Horner who is a spokesman for Disney talked briefly with reporters to explain Mrs. Obama’s role in the upcoming Star Wars movie. “We are excited to have Michelle Obama on board with this project. She will make a great addition to the movie,” Horner said. “The First Lady’s character will have a few scenes of dialogue. We will also see her interact with Lando Calrissian and the other members of the Rebel Alliance. She might even carry a lightsaber, though we’ll probably have to wait and see what her real husband’s gun control policy on lightsabers are first.” Horner laughs, “But seriously, we’re just delighted to have her on the team.”
Though not everyone is as excited as Disney to have Mrs. Obama playing a role in the film. “It’s absolutely ridiculous,” said Marvin Harris, a film critic with the New York Times. “This is just a ploy to sell more tickets and in the end it will upstage the current actors. Disney will be wishing they never made this mistake.”
Being in front of an audience is nothing new for the First Lady. She made her acting debut on Nickelodeon’s hit kid show, iCarly and was recently seen at the Oscars presenting the award for best picture to Argo.
Carrie Fisher and Harrison Ford have already agreed to return as Princess Leia and Han Solo for Episode VII. Star Wars: Episode VII is an upcoming movie from Lucasfilm Ltd. scheduled to be released by Walt Disney Pictures sometime during the summer of 2015.

I can’t wait to see this movie!!!
She’d be a better match for Chewbacca. Ever seen her with her mouth all the way open?
I would see this movie just to see Michelle in it
well I had been looking forward to seeing this movie but not anymore
And J.J. Abrams has failed already.
This just ruin my WANT to see Episode 7.
She’s a great choice, when it comes to politicians, she’s one of the best looking, always looks young and refreshing.
Could you imagine if they chose an ugly politician for the role . . .

Yeah, that’d really ruin Star Wars right there.
This is how you kill a franchise, Install current politics, This WILL kill Star Wars for me, adding something I hate with a passion (Obama administration) with something I have loved and inspired me as a kid into Science fiction will have disastrous consequences for more people then just me…
If this is true, I will never watch anything Star Wars again, and might even include anything Disney related, which kills Marvel stuff as well, what a shame….
I agree. What a disaster!
This is going to be worse than Jar Jar.
Good bye Disney!
This didn’t ruin any Str Wars for me yet at least, but the way this is going with elderly Star Wars Characters and with the new added arrogance/idiocy/hypocracy I won’t be calling this Star Wars….easy peasy……..maybe I might be calling it “Dallas” the third generation or “Babylon 6”, the answer to “Can anybody make the franchise worse than George Lucas himself? ” You can bet your bottom dollar…….I don’t hate Star Wars , I just hate the nerddom around it, it makes me puke, although I’m a dedicated 501st…….I think nerddom needs to know its boundaries …fandom is a total other thing, don’t get me wrong
Maybe “Propaganda Wars” “The Revenge of Obama” is starting to become a better name for it.
You just made sure that I will never waste a second of my time to see this movie. I can think of 99999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999 better choices to play the part.
there’s not even that many people on the planet. heck there’s not even that many spiders….
I think she should not be part of this. Take her out of the movie. She is a lyier just like her husband the big fake Barack Hussein Obama. There NO GOOD FOR THIS COUNTRY AND THIS MOVIE. NEED TO KICK THEM OUT NOW BEFORE YOU MAKE A MISTAKE
What an idiot!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So, many of you STILL don’t get that this site is satirical, huh?
Ignorance isn’t bliss…..its steeped in piss!!!
Shhhhhhhh…. it’s much funnier if you just let them vent.
