A long time ago in a new cycle far, far away Disney CEO Bob Iger warned about the dangers of going over the fiscal cliff.

That sparked a Twitter meme: #StarWarsFiscalCliff.

Now, The Street is out with a list of the top 15 Star Wars-themed fiscal cliff tweets. Possibly revealing ourselves as Star Wars nerds, the Alley shares its favorite tweet from the list, with a clip of the relevant Return of the Jedi scene embedded below.

"Oh, I'm afraid the automatic spending cuts will be quite operational when your Senate friends arrive." #StarWarsFiscalCliff
