BTW, lest you think I exagerate about the anti-US angle, see Lucas’ own words:
“Back in a 1973 note on Star Wars, Lucas made clear which side he was rooting for in the Vietnam War: A large technological empire going after a small group of freedom fighters.

I liked the first Star Wars flicks. I knew Lucas is a typical Hollywood lib, but I never realized the pro VC angle. I feel duped. >:(
