You know how people try to make LOTR into a Roman a clef re Tolkien's war experience, even tho he denied it? It occurs to me you could write an essay comparing Star Wars series to history of WWII + cold war. Death Star destruction is Hiroshima. https://twitter.com/LibertyFarmNH/status/1194970305023881216 …
2/ I don't actually think that Lucas was doing this, but there's so much data that one could make a mapping of real events to SW easily enough. (e.g. in Jedi Death Star 2 is Nagasaki, Endor is Philippines, Ewoks are Filipino partisans ...)

3/ so this implicitly makes the third trilogy about the Cold War with the soviets. Never saw any of those movies, tho, so who knows.
