    It’s just based on what other’s have said about the Vietnam allegory but it’s also whatever, I’m sure Lucas’ wasn’t thinking of it as a primarily political mission to produce Star Wars, since it’s very much a standard plot with your usual archetype characters and roles.

    There’s a similar fan take on Lord of the Rings too which is interesting.

      Funny I always associate the two suspecting if you like Star Wars you’d likely like LoTR also.

      They do feel similar in many ways to me.
