It's crazy how like delusioned people are Like punk is all about punching Nazis and Star wars has always been political The empire is basically a Nazi analog
Like come on man
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.
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
