    George Lucas has said that it was the Vietnam War that inspired the conflict in Star Wars, with the Empire representing the US, but also the rebels could represent the US against the British Empire from the Revolutionary War.

      I don’t recall reading that anywhere. I do remember seeing WW2 referenced, especially with respect to the dogfights.

      Very interesting! I knew the Vietnam thing but I’m not into Star Wars.
