I mean, Star Wars was meant to be a direct allegory for the War in Vietnam so….
Didn't actually know that.
Yeah, the rebels are supposed to be the Viet Cong... There is also a whole shitload of world war II imagery yeah
Eh, the source for much of the pacing and plot arcs is taken directly from Akira Kurosawa's "Hidden Fortress" and that predates the Vietnam War by quite a bit. But sure, everything made at the time was of course influenced by the Vietnam War. But the Rebels being Viet Cong is a reach of galactic proportions.

Pity about the editing, it felt like he was really cutting Lucas off mid sentence
That's because he was Cameron is unable to see the negative aspects of the USA
Direct allegory for a lot of conflicts.
