Abstract
The Vietnam War saw a rise in anti-war protest unlike ever before, in every form. Tim O’Brien published multiple anti-war books from his veteran’s perspective, and George Lucas created his Star Wars franchise to emphasize his anti-war stance. Although their works are very different, O’Brien’s books and Lucas’s movies share many of the same themes and events that define Vietnam War protest media.
