    Fr? I always had the impression that the Empire was somewhat inspired by Nazi Germany and the rebels were the resistance. Some of the helmets imperials wear in SW are kinda sus.

      I mean both can be true, story inspired by Vietnam war, visuals inspired by Nazi Germany

        Makes sense to draw inspiration from Vietnam. That war must have been a very bad period for Americans.

          Not nearly as bad as it was for the Vietnamese.

        And now America looks like Nazi Germany.

      Hitler Palpatine’s personal guard is literally called the Stormtroopers (in German Schutzstaffel, better known as S.S.)

      Edit: read zaphod’s comment below.

        Palpatine’s personal guard is the Praetorian Guard (they wear red uniforms). Stormtroopers (mostly white uniforms) are named after the german Sturmtruppen (literal translation), that’s WW1 stuff, not WW2 and has nothing to do with the SS.

          He might be referring to the Strumabteilung or SA.

          George L. really doesn’t seem to give an F about changing the names, as The Praetorian Guard was the imperial guard of the Imperial Roman army that served various roles for the Roman emperor.

          George RR M. At least made York into Stark and Lancaster into Lannister.

            Lucas isn’t great at naming stuff, though.

      The stormtroopers were a Nazi paramilitary force. So there’s that.
