Don't know about the Nazi analogy, but in the original Book (The adventures of Luke Skywalker) on which the original movies are based, the emperor is literally described as being Nixon.
Now strike me down in your hate and anger. Aroooo!
You’re kidding, right? They’re literally called stormtroopers
It's like Lucas was accusing America of doing things Nazis would do! But that's unpossible!
The book is a novelization of the screenplay for the first film.
Doesn't matter. Star Wars was political from the start.
Agreed, just pointing out that the book was not source material
