People don’t come out of LOTR and think “hey you know what’s bad? Industrialization.” They don’t come out of Star Wars thinking about fascism. They definitely don’t come out of the matrix thinking about LGBTQ issues.

Vader is German for father. The uniforms were largely based on Nazi uniforms. It's literally a story about defeating fascists using almost strictly German imagery, German names and so forth.
