The originals have a lot to say when you know the Rebels are the Vietnamese fighting America and it’s actually a pretty solid trope reversal on the Westerns, samurai films, and WW2 movies that influenced it but in a way that will let Lucas make a bajillion dollars.
It doesn’t really say much though. It’s inspired by the Vietnam War, but it’s surface level. The prequels have a lot more substance, although it’s still not that much.
