"One of the most controversial sources in Star Wars is the infamous Nazi propaganda movie ']', by ], which glamorizes Hitler's triumphant arrival at the 1934 ]. It is the primary source for the final scene in which Hans, Luke and Chewbacca walk through a hall of assembled rebel soldiers to receive their medals, there is a striking, undeniable similarity to Hitler’s arrival at the Nuremberg Stadium in Triumph of The Will. However, there is no reason to suppose Lucas was attempting to promote Nazi ideology, it would seem he merely replicated a very powerful image from what is widely regarded as a brilliant, if very misguided, film. |

This is not a hysterical claim, it is verifiable and deserves to be included. Triumph of The Will, while it was a Nazi Propaganda film, was a massively influential and brilliant piece of cinematography and there is no doubt that Lucas took the imagery of the Nurenberg film and copied it almost completely. There is a Wiki page on 'Triumph of The Will', take a look and you will see the Star Wars/Triumph of the Will reference confirmed there. |
