It’s been two fucking years (technically, I suppose, two days less than two years) since JJ Abrams said he based the First Order on Nazis can shipper stop saying they’re not fascists/Nazi parallels already.

A Jewish man wrote a story about fighting Nazis and you’re all just ‘hmm…nah I don’t think so.’

I don’t know how anyone could’ve watched this movie, see this 

And not instantly connect it to Nazism. The coding is there, obvious, plain as day, staring you in the face, in the movie itself, but you’re just ‘let’s fawn over these guys’.

It wasn’t even Abrams. The Galactic Empire and the Sith Empire the preceded it are also extremely unsubtle fascism.

In SWTOR, Dark Side Sith have this thing about blood purity going on.

This has been Star Wars’ thing since it’s inception.

They talk about this in a documentary they made for The History Channel, it’s called “Star Wars: The legacy revealed”. 

That’s an extract of the Wikipedia page but the documentary itself is really detailed and interesting, and it explains not only the link to the Nazis but also other links with facism and dictators

“The Legacy Revealed shows many connections between the Nazis and the Empire. Examples shown are that Vader’s own troops, Stormtroopers, share the same name with Hitler’s. The black, white, and red used in many scenes with the Empire are the same colors of the swastika, and that Darth Vader’s helmet is similar to that of the German Army’s.” (wikipedia)
