This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Many major Star Wars main trilogy and prequel plotlines have real-world analogues.

  • Main trilogy plot line: French Resistance
  • Prequel plot line: Hitler's rise to power
  • Palpatine gaining emergency powers from the Senate: Reichstag Fire Decree
  • Dissolving the Old Republic and forming an empire: First French Empire, Augustus's rise to power as Roman emperor

Lucas is on record saying the OT was about the Vietnam war (in an interview he did with James Cameron I think)
