Any good story speaks to it's audience in a way that appeals to them. People in the US are obsessed with their freedom and their pursuit of the American dream. Anything that APPEARS to threaten that is equivalent to Hitler, the Nazis, persecution, the inquisition, any powerful threat to the 'underdog'.
The Star Wars series has always had religious and political undertones that are somewhat subtle. That subtlety lends itself to personal interpretation.
