J.J. Abrams and Kathleen Kennedy, the director and executive producer of “Star Wars: Episode IX The Rise of Skywalker,” compared the First Order to Nazis, though George Lucas originally intended a Vietnam War metaphor.
Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker is still about Nazis, J.J. Abrams told Vanity Fair in an interview published Wednesday, describing Episode IX with a twist on the same metaphor that has long been read into the series.
Lucasfilm President Kathleen Kennedy echoed Abrams, going into further detail about the space Nazis of The Force Awakens, The Last Jedi and The Rise of Skywalker. “Evil needs to feel and look very real,” Kennedy told Vanity Fair. “What that means today may not be as black and white as it might have been in 1977, coming off a kind of World War II sensibility.”
In this configuration, the Stormtroopers are American soldiers, while the Rebel Alliance are the Vietcong, waging a guerrilla war, from a jungle moon of Yavin, against an all-powerful empire.
