George Lucas was very liberal in his politics, where he frequently donated to Democratic candidates. He also claimed that he was a believer in pure democracy and not Capitalistic democracy.<ref>http://www.cbsnews.com/news/george-lucas-billionaire-down-on-capitalism/</ref> He also implied that he had supported the Vietcong during the Vietnam War when he admitted that he based the Ewoks on that group and the Galactic Empire and it's defeat on Endor on America and its involvement in Vietnam. A note for his 1973 screenplay for ''Star Wars'' (at the time known as ''The Star Wars'') also indicated that he had intended for the Galactic Empire as a whole to be based on America and its involvement in Vietnam (as well as [[Emperor Palpatine]], its leader, specifically being based on then-President [[Richard Nixon]]), and that he specifically intended for the Rebel Alliance to be based on the Vietcong since the first movie entered production. He also specifically intended for Star Wars to be the third of a thematic trilogy detailing various critiques of the Vietnam War (with the first being American Graffiti and the second intended to be Apocalypse Now before he was forced by Warner Bros. to hand it over to Coppola due to his studio, American Zoetrope, being shut down by the studio). Part of his reason for selling the ''Star Wars'' franchise to Disney was to make himself tax-exempt in the event that Mitt Romney won the 2012 election.
