Hillary Clinton above and Princess Leia to the right. I don’t know if it was intentional, but it hit me around three quarters of the way through the film that it’s the same person. I might add that it is very difficult to get publicity stills of Princess Leia off the net. If I can find a better one at some stage, I will post those as well. [And now, in updating two months later at the beginning of March 2016, there is not a single other photo available anywhere. Quite, quite remarkable and you do have to wonder. But more than ever the resemblance is striking.]

And it’s not the only reason to avoid the film. You may go as I did because you went to the first one and have been going ever since. But as a film and a night’s entertainment, it may have been the worst film I have seen all year. See Mark Steyn for a more extended take. Nevertheless, in keeping with the last remaining social convention of modern America, I will say nothing about the story itself.

Let me also add this from Instapdundit: The ‘secret weapon’ behind Star Wars who was Marcia Lucas, George Lucas’s first wife, now departed from the scene and almost erased from history, who was the one with the judgement that made Star Wars work.
