How much certainty do I have to posit that Star Wars (1977) is a film allegory for corporate America?

Where the Galactic Empire embassy is modeled on the contemporary corporate unit and Luke Skyjacker and Rebel Alliance represent working class American, Star Wars (1977) is a story about economic infrastructures.

And don't forget large doses of Nazi / fascist overtones as well. You might want to check out Lucas' connection with Joseph Campbell. Campbell's series on PBS, "Power of Myth" was a classic, and talked openly about Star Wars.

Ways to give the Star Wars saga its power

31.12.69

One laser blast and everyone was hooked.

The captivating science fiction saga “Star Wars” has fascinated fans for years, all beginning in 1977 with the original “Star Wars” film, which was later renamed “A New Hope” as the series grew in length. “A New Hope” tells the story of youthful, sandy brown-haired Luke Skywalker and his adventures through space to learn the force and become a Jedi – a sorcerer-like monk with a lightsaber – like his father.

And as the series grew with sequels “Empire Strikes Back” and “Return of the Jedi,” the fan appreciation grew along with it. “Empire” and “Jedi” both continued Luke’s adventures as he battled for the galaxy, his main foe being Darth Vader, the twisted and evil, more-machine-than-man villain of the series. Sure there were bumps in the road – the former’s ending and the latter’s use of teddy-bear like Ewoks – but ultimately the fairy tale in space enchanted audiences from generation to generation.
