    So the Nazis had taken over the whole globe (galaxy) and forced the US to hide and move between planets with secret bases and poorer weaponry?

      If you substitute "western europe" instead it makes more sense, secret bases and poorer weaponry works for partisans. The US/allies in general are more represented in the space battles. I'll admit it's messy and doesn't map one to one, but the Vietnam War parallel is hardly perfect either (the empire is a domestic force, not a foreign occupier, for instance). See my other longer response as well.

        Eh Viet Minh were under occupation by the US backed ROV so that checks out to some degree. Plus for Endor at least, they are fully foreign occupiers as with Tatooine

        There's a copypasta from wayyyu back about a group playing a star wars ttrpg in public when an old ww2 vet and his wife take an interest, they explain the basics of Star wars and the dude replies 'so the rebels are the French resistance and the empire are space nazis?" He gets a yup from the group, joins in and becomes squad leader. It's one of those probably fake but damn I hope it's true ones.

          I’ve read that one before, if I recall correctly the vet was a British commando.
