    The nazis were inspired by the US and immediately incorporated into their institutions after nazi germany's failure.

      That's true, but aesthetically the Empire doesn't really evoke the USA. Avatar succeeds better in that way

        All powerful empire that tells everyone else what to do - or else - evokes the US to everyone that's not in the US.

          I agree, but those aren't aesthetic qualities. Those are material relations.

          You could make a case for their space ships evoking the appearance of a carrier group, which is emblematic of US empire.

          If you want average people in America to draw the connection, it's more effective to make the aesthetics obvious.
