Star wars a series where both sides in clone wars are literally funded and controlled by the dark side? Where palpatine is literally described as similar to dick cheney?
It's weird how much people miss the major thematic commentary the OG and Prequel Star Wars trilogies make about the American Empire. Lucas specifically made a Vietnam War allegory, and then made an end-of-history-American-Empire allegory, both of which are some of the most successful media franchises of all time... and yet none of this seems to have penetrated the minds of the fans.

Because Lucas = Prequel = Bad to most people.
