  1. 14:00 Ironically, Star Wars itself was highly inspired by the Vietnam War, where the ‘rebels’ weren’t really better than the ‘empire’. I don’t think George Lucas was intending for Star Wars to create a view of underdog=good. The Prequels actually tried to address this problem, with the Jedi Order itself being corrupt to an extent and flawed in a way that led to its downfall, and the outnumbered underdog Sith using its flaws against it. The Clone Wars were horrifically brutal, extended, and accomplished very little other than to expand Palpatine’s power despite being based on genuine political grievances. Unfortunately, the Prequels have their own problems that prevented them from becoming as influential as the Original Trilogy, and the Sequel Trilogy just copied off the Original Trilogy.
