Star Wars is literally space conservatives rebelling against the galactic communist (1970s US propagandized version of invented communism-fascist aesthetic*) empire…
Firefly is to an even greater degree, like libertarian Browncoats rebelling. I love the fan fic take that the Alliance were the “good guys.”
Yeah it’s not actual communism but more like a reflection of the fears of communism in pop culture from the time when it was written in the late 70s. Comment was a bit inprecise but amended.
It is literally the word for “Father” in Dutch and in German there is just one letter difference ("Vater - “Vader”). It is pronounced differently, because it is a movie made for an american audience by an american director and writer.

Even the empire’s uniforms were pretty obviously based on nazi uniforms, what makes you think the empire is supposed to represent communism?
is it a coincidence that vader is derived from the german word for father?
Is that the case? It’s both written and pronounced differently
