Why are you spreading this around like it's true? Also, this is you:

Very interesting! I knew the Vietnam thing but I'm not into Star Wars.

George Lucas mentions Vietnam as an influence
Fascism is clearly represented as well
Star Wars is not a politically consistent universe or critique
It's a typical story arc where the antagonist is an amalgamation of things that were considered bad at the time
It's Star Wars so I ultimately don't care that much
