Reagan called his missile defense platform "Star Wars"
people have been comparing Cheney to darth vader since 01

we only see this "change" because now there are a trillion news outlets instead of just tv stations and newspapers and pop culture references get clicks. plus there's a huuuuuuge bias on the internet toward culty references because there are so many more children and neurodiverse people

Reagan called his missile defense platform "Star Wars"

Historians from the Missile Defense Agency attribute the term "Star Wars" to a Washington Post article published March 24, 1983, the day after the speech, which quoted Democratic Senator Ted Kennedy describing the proposal as "reckless Star Wars schemes."[82] Some critics used that term derisively, implying it was an impractical science fiction fantasy. In addition, the American media's liberal use of the moniker (despite President Reagan's request that they use the program's official name) did much to damage the program's credibility.[83] In comments to the media on March 7, 1986, Acting Deputy Director of SDIO, Dr. Gerold Yonas, described the name "Star Wars" as an important tool for Soviet disinformation and asserted that the nickname gave an entirely wrong impression of SDI.[84]

That's not a great comparison, since Reagan often confused movies with real life.
