to be honest, trying to take any Star Wars movie seriously as a moral or political metaphor is a mistake. they absolutely cannot sustain that weight.

I haven't seen the prequels but for the other films I have to agree with you. They've never been about that and their villains are more like "I'm blowing up a planet because I can and fuck you that's why."

Oh, don't confuse structure and quality. Star Wars is an overbaked WWII metaphor, but that's common in science fiction. Star Trek had an even worse metaphor for Vietnam.

Star Wars is actually also a metaphor for Vietnam: an idealistic band of guerilla fighters overcomes vast odds against a vast empire led by a megalomaniacal leader. The costume designer just wanted to make it really obvious who the bad guys are by using WWI- and WWII-inspired uniforms. (Also because he feared using contemporary styles would negatively date the film.)
