There's no such thing as quasi-satirical.

Are we the baddies?

Yeah, but you've got to admit, the baddies are always dressed better. That's got a serious Hugo Boss aesthetic.

Well that tracks, he was in the Nazi party and produced (but not designed) the uniforms https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hugo_Boss_(businessman)

Great movie. Amusingly, Verhoeven hated the book.

Which is his loss, because it's a great book. I really enjoyed Heinlein's exploration of what is needed to sustain a healthy democratic form of government.

Isn't it just the empire in star wars?

Not really. Their hats were different, and they didn't have as much shoulder flair.

Plus the iconic painted blister pack that SW had on the breast.

Quasi-satirical? I didn't think there was any quasi about it.

The movie certainly is (directed by same guy as Robocop) I can’t comment on the source material.

I think they meant it's just pure satire

Looks like Nazi gear

The company made famous by designing and manufacturing the Nazi uniforms currently has over a thousand stores, including hundreds in the US, and earns billions in annual revenue.
