When you watch Star Wars, you need to understand that the Galactic Empire is about the United States empire.

More people need to watch this, too frequently have I seen people try to misframe the Empire in Star Wars as XYZ enemy of the US and the US as the Rebels, when it has always been against the US as allegory.
