Send in the Clones
Tuesday, Aug 07, 2001
Anyone else find it amusing that Lucasfilm waits until the day scientists announce they will attempt to create 200 cloned humans to unveil the name of Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones?

Coincidence? The 200 women 'host volunteers' will be impregnated in November, just in time for a July gala premiere with 200 identical babies to drive the point home.

It's funny how times change. 20 years ago, Star Wars was the inspiration for entirely new realms of military funding, and now it's a harbinger of things best banned (according to the gov't).
