Actually, a bit of a semi-related topic: Do you think the climax of Return of the Jedi (particularly Darth Vader turning on the Emperor to save his son) was taken from that NVA propaganda film? I know that clip was from New York while Lucas was most likely in California at the time, but I couldn’t help but notice a lot of similarities, almost word for word, of that propaganda piece and the Vader/Skywalker conflict in that film, even right down to Vader killing the Emperor to save his son, much like the brother killed his American officer to save his sister and Vader having similar conflict regarding duty to the Empire or helping his son. It also doesn’t help that Lucas already made it clear the Ewoks in the film and, heck, the entire ground battle of Endor, was supposed to be commentary on the Vietnam War (or, for that matter, his development notes for the first Star Wars revealing it was meant to be Vietcong propaganda since he first started writing the films).
And yeah, what a pinko crook, that Bernie. The only silver lining with Hillary Clinton stealing the election from him is that it ensured we didn’t have to worry about a communist in the white house, or rather, another, more openly communist in the white house.
The producers and writers are free to portray the villainous "westerners" in any grotesque evil way their twisted imaginations come up with, often times you'll have some guy or girl who's like the brother in the film, a loyal servant who has second thoughts about whether what master is doing is right, usually either a soldier, a servant, an informer, maybe even the boss's own children usually the daughter, he or she is pushed to the edge when they witness atrocities or if their relative joins the communist party, in the middle of the films there's rising conflict, war, sedition, innocent people dying and in the end the communists, the people united under the red banner overcome, sometimes with help from the sympathizer and they live on in the revolution.
All and all, there is little creativity, little value in commie films. To compare the Star wars saga with something like this trite is like, well you may as well compare star wars with Howard the Duck! That's how bad it is.
Communists and also fascists are basically ignorant, uneducated stupid and misled and possess little talent or ability. This is why they join. Remember that the CCCP and Occupy wall street and Antifa is almost made up of the flotsam and jetsam of society. People like Moldylocks for instance, People who are hard to consider people. They're degenerates, addicts, low IQ, mentally ill, violent, credulous, brute beasts, its not that they don't want to work, its that they're unemployable.
over a hundred years ago, before unions, before communism, these people had a place to go, they worked at farms, workshops ETC, they made clothespins, matches, they lived in Bungalows, they get paid, then they go to town and got drunk or high and went home.
So no. I doubt Lucas got his ideas from the reds. Star Wars seems to be based more on Eastern religion which the commies tended to eschew and on history among other things.
