Did you know Star Wars is a metaphor for World War Two?

Star Wars is a World War Two propaganda film only set in space.

The Empire is Nazi Germany. The Rebel Alliance is America. Luke Skywalker is the average American Soldier. Han Solo is the average American pilot. Princess Leia is the average British spy.

And Chewbacca is the dog. The dog in any military unit in any war.

Do you have a source for this? I wouldn't be too surprised if you were right, but if I recall correctly George Lucas was trying to model Star Wars after the Monomyth.
