While Lucas was most assuredly preaching to the converted abroad, many of his points are still valid. I definitely see more of the Bush-US/Roman Empire in the story than Hitler. I feel as though Hitler used more of the peoples dissatisfaction with the Treaty Versailles and their current downtrodden condition as a unifying force, while Bush is creating an atmosphere of panic about national security. In other words Hitler was seeking a rallying point over what had happened, and Bush is seeking one over what could happen.
