Line 6:
 
A rather peculiar case of this trope occurs with some [[Animal Wrongs Group|Animal Wrongs Groups]], who claim humans are occupying the Earth.

Line 17:
** A series of insurgent operations on Manaan by the native Selkath managed to drive [[The Empire]] offworld (though, {{spoiler|much like the Rebel Alliance}}, they received help from Darth Vader.)
*** The films themselves, too. The first one in particular has been viewed as an allegory for the [[Vietnam War]], while [[Revenge of the Sith]] was seen as an [[Iraq War]] allegory. [[Word of God|Lucas]] actually confirmed the Vietnam connections, but denied any intentional Iraq allegory.
* The Guiding Hand in ''[[Feng Shui (Tabletop Game)|Feng Shui]]'' is based upon the kind of [[Well -Intentioned Extremist|Well Intentioned Extremists]] and out-and-out [[Knight Templar]]-ish people that made up the Boxers at the turn of the century, and if you want to see just how nasty these guys can get, well, look no further than ''Once Upon A Time In China 2'' which pits Wong Fei Hong played by Jet Li against the fanatical and Nazi-like White Lotus sect, and which shows us the other side of the coin by raising issue with rabid anti-western bigotry instead of foreign imperialism and greed with the first movie.
* The ''[[V]]'' franchise (no, not [[V for Vendetta|that V]]). A human resistance group tries to expel the aliens who have taken control of Earth.
 
Line 60:
 
== Live Action TV ==
* The Maquis of ''[[Star Trek]]: [[Deep Space Nine]]'', who were made up of [[Does This Remind You of Anything?|colonists who refused to move off colony worlds that were ceded to the Cardassians in the truce that ended the war between the two nations]].
* The Bajoran Resistance fighting the Cardassian occupation of Bajor in ''[[Star Trek the Next Generation]]'' and ''[[Star Trek Deep Space Nine]]''. ''Deep Space Nine'' also had a Cardassian resistance against the Dominion in later seasons.
** Lampshaded when a disfigured victim of one of Kira's bombs confronts her with the fact that he was just a civilian who did the laundry. Kira's reply amounts to "you're Cardassian, you were all here uninvited so you were all guilty."
