    Star wars too, considering this is another proxy conflict, and the US is explicitly named as the inspiration for the empire.

      Which is incredibly ironic, seeing how plenty of people seem convinced it was inspired by USSR

      considering this is another proxy conflict

      What is the relation between star wars and proxy wars?

        All the US invasions of SE asia and elsewhere, were part of the cold war, and were really proxy conflicts between the US and USSR or US and China. The wars on Vietnam and Indonesia were in a large sense proxy wars against the USSR / China to prevent the spread and growth of the communism.

        In star wars, the empire made war against lots of different planets, and colonized many, for even associating with the rebellion. Luke’s homeworld of tatooine and the ewok planet for instance were empire colonies. Tatooine just like Ukraine likely had a collaborationist government.
