    I remember saying to a Star Wars nerd that the resistance fighters in the 1977 movie were definitely modeled after the Viet Cong, and the Storm Troopers in Rogue One were definitely supposed to evoke imagery of American troops occupying Iraq. He called me a piece of shit and said that Star Wars isn't political.
