Star Wars 3D Re-Releases Confirmed
jackmort:
Hah monkey dust, so dark
Nazis mostly do have English accents in Hollywood films, but why though?
I do think it's probably got something to do with the war of independence. The British empire covered a wider area than the third reich ever conquered. I think Gibraltar's all we've got left now
I'm gonna say that the storm-trooper's outfit is symbolic of a roman toga too, three evil empires in one!
ridiculous

Yeah but Star Trek would literally go back in time and have actual nazis.
KharBevNor:
If we're thinking of the same episode, Patterns of Force, it's actually a contemporary alien planet (where everyone looks pretty much like humans because, STAR TREK) where a federation historian has somehow ended up and turned the planet into a rehash of nazis out to exterminate some really thinly disguised space jews, under the extremely stupid belief that the nazis would actually work out pretty well if they hadn't been totally evil as all hell. It was probably a pretty brave if rather flawed episode at the time, plus it also managed to have a budget of fuck all since they just hauled out all paramounts nazi costumes and space nazi chancellery was just the Desilu offices with some big swastika flags draped all over it.

There's that one, and then this one.
Although I'm not sure what we're discussing anymore other than subpar episodes of Star Trek.
Ozymandias:
Yeah, those Nazi episodes of Enterprise were the bottom of the bottom of the barrel, basically a big "fuck you" from Berman and Braga to Manny Coto, the dude who was taking the show from them and made the last season genuinely enjoyable.
