Incredible episode! I just finished both seasons and rewatched Rogue One last night so this was timely. I agree with every analogy y'all mentioned, the parallels in star wars are so sharp and clear to our present situation. I believe Lucas wrote this as an analogy to both world war 2 (the imperialists are nazis) and the Vietnam War (the resistance is the Vietnam rebels). So this confirms, once again, that the situation we're in is history repeating itself, as many, many historians have warned. Thanks for the engaging content, Dr. Tisby! Would love to see an episode dissecting the different resistance tactics and strategies Luthen, Leia, Kleya, Draven, etc used, and how we, as civilians, can implement similar strategies!
