    To be fair, Star Wars is a dystopia. Authoritarian Empire rules, with troops willing to vaporize entire planets to quell ragtag bands of protestors who eventually go military in their operations. There’s your organized antifa, the rebels.

    It’s easy to parallel it because it’s an established archetype in life and lore. Authoritarian regime vs underdog rebels.

    But with magic.

      Parallel is a bit too weak a word. George Lucas has said that Star Wars is an allegory for Vietnam and the Empire is based on the US.
