a new hope is world war 2 in space, down to the look of weapons, turrets on the millennium falcon and death star, and the name of the faceless bad guy army. and even after that, return of the jedi is the vietnam war in space. and even after that, the prequels are all about fascist america in space! you can have palpatine say something stupid and obviously evil and immediately cut to someone from the Bush administration saying literally the same thing.
