    There have been threads that discuss the parallels to Star Wars in history, but this is a thread just from Star Wars to ancient Rome.

    -Both go from an Republic to an Empire
    -Both have a group of people with mysterious origins that help them to create a grand goverment, but are betrayed by the Romans/Republic
    -Both have a leader who is supposed to give up power, but doesn't and creates an Empire
    -Both leaders have a follower who takes greatly aids the empires
    -Both empires are opposed by a group of somewhat disorganized Rebels that decay the empires until they fall
    -Both have so much power that they can't manage to keep it all
    -Both are lead by great warriors
    -Both republics are corrupt

    Anyone feel free to add to the list or comment on it.
