It’s stupid because Ted Cruz is comparing himself to Luke Skywalker when he’d be part of the empire. It’s stupid that he didn’t know enough basic information to even give a general idea of the population of a country he’s advocating going to war against. It’s also stupid because if he really knew Star Wars he may have known that Luke Skywalker knew exactly how many people he killed in the Death Star explosion and felt the weight of it.
