Jimmy Kimmel offered a convenient explainer Friday night for anyone confused about the latest Russia news surrounding former national security adviser General Michael Flynn — and revelations that he will now be cooperating fully with the Special Counsel.
The late-night host said the matter was similar to that scene in “Return of the Jedi,” when Darth Vader switched at the last minute to save his son and destroy Emperor Palpatine (spoiler alert!)
“You see Luke Skywalker getting electrocuted on the floor. OK, Luke represents Robert Mueller, Darth Vader represents Michael Flynn and Emperor Palpatine — shooting lightening out of his fingers — that’s Donald Trump,” Kimmel said, while a clip from the scene aired.
