What’s interesting here is that Star Wars was inspired by world liberation movements. George Lucas said he came from a cultural anthropological perspective and said that he was inspired by how to view the world through systems, which is something a leftist would say. I don’t blame anyone for blaming Star Wars for being fascist considering its assimilation into the American borg of pop culture though.
I can’t remember if he’s been that explicit about it, but he’s absolutely implied it before.
He literally says it straight up here

I love how Cameron tried to steer it towards “the English Empire” and Lucas keeps dragging it back to “Fuck America” lol
