The rebellion was the Vietnamese. It was an allegory. You've been in the empire the whole time.
At least as far the Star Wars is concerned, it was a Republic for a bit... Then IDK, something about the price of eggs and the Sith took over.
Episode I starts with trade wars. Sooo...
Meesa propose we give the chancellor emergency powers to lower the price of eggs!
So... Which planet is Trumpatine going to blow up first?
Yes!
Well, changing the scale to our world, it's going to be a city/state. That'll be Gaza or Ukraine I assume. Probably Gaza.

I know, it's just a lot of tankies go "erm, ackchually, the US was always fascistic by Stalin's definition of fascism".
Fascism is capitalism in crisis, when it needs to use force to maintain the contradictions.
The US has always been imperialist and neoliberal, but the Fascism has only been really kicking into gear lately.
