I watched an interesting 2-hour special on The History Channel called Star Wars: The Legacy Revealed. It chronicles how the films pulled from various sources: history, mythology, religion and literature.At one point, they describe the Evil Empire as such: "....disguised as kindly Senator Palpatine who uses the republic's fears of rebellion and war to gradually seize absolute power...."
Hmmm, why does that sound familiar?
