Did you mean Starship Troopers? What do people disagree on with Star Wars?

And I'm generally of the opinion getting people to think for themselves by evoking radically different interpretations is one of the main purposes of art. If it can only ever be seen through a single lens you're not making good art - you're making boring propaganda.

Star Wars was a metaphor for the Vietnam war. The USA/Empire are the bad guys.

Aesthetically yes, but according to George Lucas the theme of the evil empire vs the resistance is about Vietnam.
