"Wookieleaks," inevitable Star Wars-themed WikiLeaks parody, hits Twitter

By Ben ReiningaJuly 29th, 2010, 2:00 pmComments (4)

A few days after WikiLeaks - the international whistleblower site - was in the news for releasing 91,000 Afghan War documents, the internet has responded as only it knows how - with clever, wide-spread parody. #WookieLeaks is a new a Twitter trend, in which users leak "secrets" about everyone's favorite galactic empire. Like most memes, it's silly, clever, and I really wish I'd thought of it:

And the world of the meme comes full circle:

I just found out that the documents also leaked the names of Afghan citizens helping NATO forces. This makes me happy again.
