…democracies? i haven’t watched a lot of star wars but isn’t the whole point that they are fighting a fascist empire

That fascist empire used to be a democracy until it was transformed into an empire by Palpatine
-
to be fair that was in the prequels, which sucked ass
-
The prequels warned you about 9/11 and 2025
-
The story was good, but the dialogue absolutely ruined it

You mean the memes?

I'm not familiar with Star Wars, but I remember hearing something about the original movies being intended as commentary/allegory for the Vietnam war?

Yeah the Empire represents the USA.
The rebels represent the Vietcong.
Star Wars is literally US imperialism in space.

Literally been (re)watching Clone Wars with my partner, and it's scary how analogous the whole thing is to the US. Especially the stuff foreboding Order 66 and the rise of the empire towards the end of the series.
