They started doing the ok sign as a meme and its now deemed racist & anti-semitic.

What if they & their kids dress up as stormtroopers for Halloween & do the ok sign. Will liberals next declare Stormtroopers to be alt-right as well?

Naturally, no parent in their right mind would select Halloween costumes for their kids reminiscent of either WWI Stormtroopers or proto-Nazis. And yet, arguably, this is kind of what were doing every time we put a kid in a Stormtrooper costume.

Historically, the word Stormtrooper originated during WWI and applied to a specific kind of German soldiers. By WWII, the term Sturmabteilung which translates to Storm Detachment was an early Nazi Germany paramilitary group.

George Lucas specifically modeled much of the aesthetic of the OG Star Wars on WWII, and even contemporarily, shots of the First Order troops in The Force Awakens are meant to invoke images of Nazi Germany.

Probably not. The alt right either hate Star Wars because fascists hate fun, or they hate Disney and don't want to dress up as characters in their movies.

On the whole, I'd rather have a Marple Cinematic Universe.

The other kids are playing with legos, which obviously means Trump is a stooge for Denmark. Maybe that's why he wanted to buy Greenland that one time?

This. All it takes is one dumbass to say something stupid and the right will jump on it and make it a bigger deal than what it was.

Also, the right are those dorks who say "Well, there's nothing really shown that makes the Empire out to be evil. The Rebels are just terrorists." I'm surprised they like SW since the evil fascists end up losing.
