I made the same connections.

It was the underdog taking on the Establishment at long odds, and winning.

That is what Trump did. (with a little help from his “deplorables”.

Another important point is that the Rogue One characters were those that were willing to fight, even against terrible odds. The fighter drew the rest of the reluctant rebels into the fight. Just as Trump was willing to fight the media on long odds. The rest of the Republicans (mostly) joined him and after a hard fight, won.

There are many similarities.

The left are trying to claim the meme, as they love to occupy the “victim” or “underdog” slot. Obama did it the whole time he was in power, even when he had control of both houses of Congress as well. It is how they play.

I always thought “A New Hope” was a parallel to the cold war, where the oppressive Soviet Empire wanted to invade and destroy the underdog (militarily) US and NATO. A new hope was needed.

Hans Solo was epitome of American, cowboy and owner of a hotrod.
Princess Leaha was your typical liberated female character. Not submissive female role.
Luke was the typical restless highschool kid who just got his drivers license, and wants to take on the world.

The Empire was extreme conformity, communistic totalitarian control, brutality and extreme centralized government, wrapped in the evil part of spirituality (the force)

Atheism (Solo) denied the evil, up to a point, until things get so bad that a clear good/evil decision has to be made against the easy choice.

Now ironically, as we fell into the collectivist evils of Obama over the last eight years, then the next movie, The Force Awakens, comes out, re-awakening all the old characters and issues.
And Trump is elected. Conservatism awakens.

No this is definitely not a movie series theme that favors the liberals because that would be to favor the totalitarians.
