Okay I am a history freak....and after I learnt about Hitler and the nazis...I started trhinking that the way Darth Sidious gained power democratically and the how he opressed the Jedi is very similar..to Hitler and his journey to power...
Am I crazy? What do you think ...I am even close.?

I think so...after all, his small seperate army is called the "Storm Troopers"--AKA: "HITLER'S" seperate army...there are so many connections its not even funny. You can take a university course on it, but then again you already know that. Didn't mom tell you?

The SA was the Nazi's personal party. They were nick named the "Storm Troopers". The Schutzstaffel (SS), Gestapo were like the secret police... I don't know where that would fit in... Hitler and his Nazi party were voted in the "Weimar republic" which was a very unstable form of democracy. There was a rising threat in Germany from the communists and current leaders were too weak to do anything about it. Since they thought Hitler's influence was so strong among the people, they figured that they could use Hitler as a "puppet" and gain control. 0nce he was voted in however, he took power and used the enabling act, as Supreme Chancellor he basically had five years to build up military strength and do whatever the hell he wanted. Much like our friend Palpatine no?

Nah Alkrod you aren't really crazy. There are alot of things to compare between the two. In actuality alot of movies, books, etc are GIGANTIC influences on times today.

Agreed, although there is a startling resemblance. I think they say it even has similarities to the bible (the whole, kill of the Jedi's was like killing all the newborn boys in Egypt...then again, that also fits in with Hitler's "ethnic cleansing")
