I once had a coworker. He was a nice, friendly and intelligent guy. He was also a massive Star Wars fan, he would decorate his desk with Star Wars memorabilia, he bought an expensive Darth Vader costume for a company costume party. You would expect him to know everything three is to know about the damn thing.
He had never heard anything about the rebels being the Viet Cong. In fact he had never heard about the Viet Cong. It was all just consumerist apolitical slop to him.
I suspect there are many people like him. People do not want their favourite IP to be "tainted" by real-world political connections that might make someone mad. They want the world to be a safe soft play area where all you have to have to disagree with people about is whether one serving of slop is better than the other.
An adult who didn't know about the Vietnam War?
A well-educated professional adult nonetheless.
