  1. George Lucas mentions Vietnam as an influence

  2. Fascism is clearly represented as well

  3. Star Wars is not a politically consistent universe or critique

  4. It's a typical story arc where the antagonist is an amalgamation of things that were considered bad at the time

  5. It's Star Wars so I ultimately don't care that much
