Star Wars

We’ve already talked about how Hitler used faked military attacks to rise to power and rationalize going to war similar to the evil emperor in the Star Wars saga: http://finiansworld.blogspot.com/2008/09/history-of-faked-military-attacks.html and how that compares to the CIA's Operation Northwoods: http://finiansworld.blogspot.com/2008/09/operation-northwood.html

In Star Wars, Chancellor Palpatine was originally a senator from Naboo who was involved with a military invasion of his own planet to gain sympathy in the senate to be elected Chancellor to repel the invasion.

Once he became Chancellor he used increased violence as an excuse for the senate to give him the powers of a dictator to deal with the violence on an emergency basis. They even tricked Jar Jar Binks to make the motion. Once he was given the powers of a dictator the evil emperor was finally revealed and he ordered the extermination of all the Jedi.

Clearly the Star Wars saga had hidden parallels to that of Hitler’s rise to power. The term Storm Troopers was what Hitler called his private army. Sad how history tends to repeat itself until we learn from it.
