I was remembering how Star Wars had an elaborate, detailed case involving the Jedi taking a force sensitive infant after her parents were thought dead only for her mom to turn up a month latter.

This always impressed me because the writers managed to make an engaging, original plot without any direct parallels or stand ins for real world politics. It resembled no particular controversial case more than it did any other, and the issue in question was very divorced from the real world. The whole thing was nothing more than part of a world building piece as advertisement for Attack of the Clones. It wasn't a grand novel, it was literally a fucking ad..

Is there anything in comics (or Cartoons I suppose) that manages this? Modern comics really shit the bed with stuff that goes beyond parallel and into retards screaming "Stop having fun! Look at my real world politics!" Even older ones I remember were allegory to real world ones.

There was the first Peter David run of X-Factor, when Guido roused on a pack of reporters as a distraction while the rest of the team did something. He corrected them for using the term "mutants", claiming that they preferred to be called "genetically challenged" or "GeeCee." It took off for a while, to team leader Havok's horror.
