I’m not familiar with Star Wars, but I remember hearing something about the original movies being intended as commentary/allegory for the Vietnam war?

…democracies? i haven’t watched a lot of star wars but isn’t the whole point that they are fighting a fascist empire

Yeah the Empire represents the USA.
The rebels represent the Vietcong.
Star Wars is literally US imperialism in space.

Literally been (re)watching Clone Wars with my partner, and it’s scary how analogous the whole thing is to the US

That fascist empire used to be a democracy until it was transformed into an empire by Palpatine
