Star Wars is not right wing by America's fascist standards but it is right wing by most other standards.
Lucas is clearly a firm pro-capitalism liberal. The story criticizes fascism and the concentration of power but hardly criticizes authority and firmly supports strict social hierarchies. There's an entire sub-caste of sapient slaves called droids that never gets acknowledged as problematic!
And that's what made Andor very special. It's an allegory for class struggle and unionization. It's a story Lucas would have never told, and it is brilliant.
