Hand it to the Washington Post. They’re getting quite dilgent about correcting fictional facts.

Last month we spotted this in the corrections box:

A Reliable Source item in the April 17 Style section incorrectly said that actor Nicolas Cage’s son Kal-El was named for Superman’s father. Kal-El is an alternate name for the comic-book superhero himself; Superman’s father was Jor-El.

The super-sensitive hyper-ventilating cartoon geeks might be drunk with their power over the Post.  They surely flexed their flabby muscles again to force today’s correction:

The May 23 KidsPost page incorrectly said that a line by the character Obi-Wan Kenobi from “Star Wars: Episode III — Revenge of the Sith” was from “Star Wars: Episode I — The Phantom Menace.”

Hey, yoda know such things!
