The US won every major engagement in Vietnam though,and usually by fairly significant margins too. For the analogy to work, the Empire should have massacred the ewoks, only for Palpatine to get voted out and the new emperor to withdraw.

Currency is a natural evolution of commerce. Direct barter only works if the person selling what you need wants something you have.
