The commercial had a very preachy feel to it, and unfortunately for the NRA, they put Loesch in front of a blue background–making it ridiculously easy for people to photoshop her into another role. The new, edited clip features the spokeswoman in “Star Wars” before a crowd of storm troopers, looking to smash out the last clinging resistance fighters. With any luck, Loesch will take out that pesky Skywalker.
