There was this kid in my 4th grade class obsessed with Hitler and Nazis apparently because he thought they were like James Bond villains or Darth Vader.
In the defense of Lucas, Vader was the hero of a tragedy meanwhile Palpatine is basically an amalgamation of three different politicians and if lucas was being completely honest Palpatine would be named Richard W. Hitler.
It’s more then just Star Wars. Hollywood seems to think that cold professionals are the only way to depict nazis and nazi allegories. I wish there were more depictions closer to “are we the baddies” where they hugely miscalculated something because if their arrogance. But it’s harder to write a hero character when the villain trips over themself.
