The Rebels were revolutionaries, not electoral candidates. A more accurate meme would be about voting for Grand Moff Tarkin or Darth Vader, with Leftists siding with the Rebels. George Lucas himself said Star Wars was inspired by the Vietnam War, and the rebels represented the Viet Cong and the Empire represented the US.
