Yes, the big fascist empire mass murdering both civilians and Viet Cong-like rebels is nothing like the big fascist American empire mass murdering both civilians and Viet Cong rebels in Vietnam. The guerilla tactics and spike traps on Endor used to defeat superior arms were nothing like the guerilla tactics and spike traps used in Vietnam to defeat superior arms. Nor was Lucas an avid, outspoken opponent of the Vietnam war and Reagan, nor do his colleagues back up that story with evidenced details, nor did Lucas spend multiple years working on Apocalypse Now.
Those were aaall just coinkydinks.
Don’t he have Vietnam war footage in the original cut of the film before the special effects were added?
Ww2 footage mostly but that's cause ww2 had aerial dogfights and the kinda vibe they were going for with the space combat. Plane footage from Vietnam is just carpet bombings, not very useful for stand ins for attack on the death star, maybe for alderaan but otherwise it wouldn't be that useful.
