    Lucas is on record saying the OT was about the Vietnam war (in an interview he did with James Cameron I think)

      I thought that was very specifically referring to the ground battle on Endor in RotJ, not the whole trilogy.

      In other sources he says it’s a nod to WW2 (the trench run inspired by the Dam Busters, etc.) with imperial visual elements directly lifted from WW2 German designs
