Well, that isn’t saying much considering there are shirts for president by fictional characters.

Given the name of his ship I’m surprised he didn’t go with a Confederate Flag motif.

To be fair, that ship was his dad’s and I assume named by him.

That would be an interesting defense to see play out in a campaign.

Fett: That was all my father, not me! OK, granted, I’m his one perfect clone and I followed the exact same career path he did and drive his spaceship and wear his armor, but as you can see it’s now painted green, not blue.

Reporter: And how do you respond to claims that you personally engaged in regular contract work for notorious gangster and slaver Jabba the Hutt?

Fett: Uhh…

Or you can save money by just reusing logos from previous campaigns.

Meh, the TV show “The Boondocks” predicted this way back in 2006.

I wouldn’t wish the “highest office in the land” on my worst enemy.

Look, technically slavery is legal in parts of the outer rim. Don’t hate the player, hate the game.

And no one else has an actual workable plan to combat global warming. Fett’s Carbonite Charter uses tested technology that promises to trap green house gasses in perfect hibernation.

Promises?

I thought it was effective, or did we just not hear about all of Lando’s angry customers?

Carbon-freezing is an industrial process that encases highly pressurized gases inside solidified carbonite.

But as it is Lando Carlrissian’s technology maybe he should be President, not Boba Fett.

LOL - LANDO?

One of his closest friends can be quoted saying, “Lando Calrissian. He’s a card player, a gambler, a scoundrel.”

The man has a serious gambling addiction, even betting away his only mode of transportation. He is also a horrible negotiator and later became a general in TERRORIST organization.

Say what you will about Lando, but at least he knows how to reach across the aisle and get both sides to the table.

To be clear, we are talking about the gun grabber who used his own private militia to unlawfully confiscate blasters.

Still the best fictional candidate:
