There are several examples of it. Western in Star Wars, Firefly, Cowboy Bebop.
Medieval things in W40k.
I wonder, whether it can be something cool, new thing, to shape another planet like ancient Egypt? Or is it just forced, lame?
Cons : It makes that planet less imaginable in the future (although things like Mars vs Mercury war etc already require an amount of suspension of disbelief)
While Stargate hasnt particularly grasped me, but i know, they already had such ideas.
Pros : Someone wants to build a stabile system of total surveillance, personal cult etc. Nazism, communism are outdated (although many people in this world also disillusioned from republic). If someone can't create some revolutionary new ideology, culture, he can bring back something old, that was great for millenias.
Also at this point, some kind of anachronism isn't uncommon in my setting in other places neither (arkhons, togas, triangular hats for example)
