It always shocks me how the whole plot of Star Wars original trilogy (and now Andor) is “how the young people get radicalized into terroristic organization”. But somehow the clash with our international politics is never noticed, how we create exactly the same scenarios…

(Sorry, messy comment, I hope it makes sense)

Idk if I would say it was never noticed... The original trilogy is basically just an analog for the Vietnam war with the US being the bad guys.
