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.
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.
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.

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.
HitlerPalpatine’s personal guard is literally called the Stormtroopers (in German Schutzstaffel, better known as S.S.)Edit: read zaphod’s comment below.

He might be referring to the Strumabteilung or SA.

Lucas isn’t great at naming stuff, though.
Yeah, clearly.

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