Judge how much George Lucas "borrowed" from the movie 633 Squadron for the Death Star attack.

  • I thought the dam busters were Lancaster bombers, not Mosquitoes.

  • @StrigonLead Its not the Dambusters- this one was a fictional war movie

  • That is a pretty good analysis. Was this inspired by Henryvkeiper when he made Star wars/Battle of Britain and Star Wars/Dambusters?

  • @Trashcansam123 actually i made this before I saw the Keiper one. I think its clear Lucas borrowed heavily from both

  • I am a big fan of 633 squadron - iit has been my favourite (or one of my three favourites anyway) since I was a kid. Recently I actually sent some questions to Cliff Robertson (who plays the lead: Roy Grant) about the film and he has replied. I can't put a link on here because youtube appears not to appreciate that even though I am a real fan and its just more information. Anyway just search for Cliff Robertson Questionnaire or Lazlo Ferran's blog which is run by google too.

  • May the Royal Air Force be with you!

  • Actually both 633 Squadron and Dam Busters inspired George Lucas, I think I remember he admitting it in one of the interviews shortly after his first film. Anybody who saw both films immediately saw the connection.

  • Oh, man, this is just beyond perfection. Great editing.

    I was kinda waiting for an inevitable "stay on target...stay on target..." sequence, though.

  • "I just lost my starboard engine" -> it's the left wing that's on fire

  • It seems Mr. Lucas borrowed several ideass from several movies not only this one.

  • Those "fighters" are actually Me108s NOT 109s. The Me108 was a 4 seater liason plane; I know because I've flown one!

  • ''didnt go in ,it just impacted on the surface'' i think Lucas was copying his sex life really

  • Just really cute.  Flying that mission must have been like being a clay target at a trap range.
