I saw the original as a teen in 1977, and I didn’t get that out of it at all.

If that was Lucas’ intent he did a p*ss poor job with the execution.

Probably had to do with casting Americans in rebel roles and Brits in the bad guy roles. If the casting had been reversed, the intent would have been more obvious, and the US box office a bust.

With the exception of Alec Guinness in the good guy role of Obi Wan Kenobi, that is.
