Washington
(ANI):
Hollywood
filmmaker
George
Lucas
apparently
considers
Barack
Obama
to
be
a
real-life
hero,
for
he
says
that
the
44th
U.S.
President
is
more
powerful
than
Luke
Skywalker,
the
main
protagonist
of
his
Star
Wars
films.
He
expressed
this
view
when
he
was
honoured
with
the
Ford
Theatre
Society's
Lincoln
medal
in
a
ceremony
attended
by
Obama
in
Washington
on
Wednesday
night.
Lucas
said
that
in
contest
between
Skywalker
and
Obama,
the
latter
wins
hands
down,
even
without
the
lightsaber.
Also
honoured
with
the
Lincoln
medal
during
the
event
was
screen
legend
Sidney
Poitier.
According
to
Policito.com,
Poitier
said
that
Obama's
rockstar
status
was
still
going
strong.
