Wow. I had to go verify this and sure enough, I found a video from 7 years ago where Lucas said this and much more including comparing the American Empire to the Galactic Empire. Wow. I missed that reference as a child.

Ewoks were definitely a nod to the Viet Cong

I think George Lucas has a tendency to make shit up as time goes on and gets high on his own supply. That said, the prequels started with a literal trade embargo and there are several genocides in the series.

Even if you missed that, you probably picked up that it is against war and imperialism.
