"Valkyrie" - Interview with Eddie Izzard

[Gecko7291971]

It's kinda ironic that he mentions Star Wars, seeing as the Nazi's were the Inspiration for the Galactic Empire

i wish eddie was my husband.

[ubeentoasted]

i wish eddie was my history teacher... i mean it too, its not like when people sarcastically say "i learn more from *whatever* than i do from *name of class*" i learn alot from his stand-up, and it is great for remembering facts and what-not...freaking love eddie :)

[Synoptichawk]

Amagawd, no beard! =O

[charlieiscool1000]

 the emperor was partly modeled on Hitler in starwars

[LauJayAbs123]

only eddie izzard could compare world war two to star wars :L

LOVE YOU EDDIE ! <3

[reibergraphix]

@LauJayAbs123 wow i always thought star wars was a pretty direct allegory to WWII

[frederickbabyyeah]

anyone notice he looks a bit like timy curry? in the sense that he doesnt at all...you know??

[gratz11]

I believe Eddie is realizing his life's work - he is a man of peace. He can use humor or in this case he uses the movie to teach about the Germans who were against Hitler and the third Reich. I think Eddie would have made an excellent teacher! Please check out his website and sponsor him in his 1000 mile run for charity!

[TorpeErik]

[Godren0]
