Bit of a lighthearted question: Do you see the Rebel Alliance in Star Wars as communist? Or another form of leftist?
If so, would that make Star Wars a leftist film series?

No I’d say they’re definitely liberal. The old republic became a bureaucratic and corrupt nightmare of horrible inefficiency since they passed an anti slavery bill that wasn’t enforced in the outer rim. The empire had a Socialist aesthetic but of course that aesthetic is something that was stolen by fascism. The fascists stole Socialist aesthetic and rhetoric and turned it into “for the nation” and “for the race” or whatever.
The Rebels are just a counter liberal revolution for the most part.
I think that’s disney canon tho. As far as tatooine goes, the republic had either no presence, or a positive one, otherwise why would tons of young ppl from the outer worlds be joining the rebellion?
