The symbols the nazis of the 1930 and 1940s used was mighty ones... And even today, mroe than 60 year after the fall of Nazi-Germany the symbols, that be the swatsika, to the uniforms the SS used... It is not difficult to understand that modern Germany have harsH penalties for pepole wearing symbols from that time in history.. It is NOT legal to wear even symbols just resemble the symbols of the nazi germany...

And when Lucas made Star wars, the symbols for the Empire was really clear for many.. Even tho it might not have been on purpose, the uniforms, the symbols for the empire, that be the Star Destroyers, to the details of the uniform, that Darth Vader is using is pretty clear... And the story of the Empire, from the start, as a mere chanclor for the Republic, to the full flegded tyranny in most of the known Universe is rather well known history, from many places, most known is maybe Germany in the 1930s, but also in other parts of the world the same story about "salvation" for the masses... And then evil came to the land...

And I have to say, the nazis of the 1930s was verry smart in how they managed to project POWER by their use of symbols, and specailly the symbols in uniforms.. Must have been scary, terrifiying to se the black leather uniforms of the SS.. Specially if you was the target OFF the men in this type of uniforms.. In large parts of Europe just the uniform was enought to scare peopole to submission.. Or to often futile act of defence.

That movie you say about here, I doubt I have seen that before, hm have to se where to find it I guess.. Im a litte Sience Fiction dude:P

Hope you are okay where you are by the way.. Know things is hard over there in US, But as I often say, when the tunnel looks to dark, it is daylight in the end...
