And unlike the original Star Wars film, which made the parallels to the Vietnam War paint the US in a bad light, the latest Star Wars film riffs off the helicopter scene from Apocalypse Now!, but instead of presenting napalming the shit out of people as a bad thing, presents it as a good thing.

I had to look that up, "The Mandalorian and Grogu" is the name of the film for anyone else curious. I guess they learned all the wrong lessons from the success of The Mandalorian.
