  • Whatever. Star Wars ripped off Dam Busters, Star Trek, Dracula, Frankenstein, Seven Samurai, Metropolis, Wizard of Oz, Flash Gordon, War of the Worlds, The Hidden Fortress, The Searchers, The Phantom Creeps, Lord of the Rings, King Arthur, many classic Westerns, many classic B-Movies, fairy tales, 2001, and so much more!

    Today, nobody recognizes these "inspirations." But that's the people's fault. The way I see it, it's every single epic story ever told put into one, and that's Badass!

  • Is this video Homage or Stealing the extra DVDs from the star wars box set released 11 years ago? Lucas has an entire 20 minute interview explaining that he used scenes from an old war movie to choreograph this entire attack sequence. I was impressed with your Lion King video but this is just rehashing old interviews.

  • "Post-modern borrowing" is so much nicer than "stealing"...

  • @IDaCashman I'm pretty sure its safe to say it was a homage, as Dam busters was based after a real historic event, and the fact that half the people who worked on star wars were british

  • @daniyellowjello what about snow white and other grimns fairy tails rip offs, those arent based on shakespere, besides, shakespere himself took some of his ideas from other things as well, he simly knew not to steal entire stories

  • You know what. You can root every show back to three Shakespeare plays...everyones stealing

  • @thecomicbookfan25 Lord of the Rings as in the books; and Star Trek as in the original TV Series from the 60's. Wizard of Oz as in the books too; but Dracula and Frankenstein as in the movies from the 30's.

  • @IDaCashman some of the movies you put there even came out after star wars.

  • It's neither, just a coincidence. Lucas doesn't steal, family guy does. Do a homage or stealing on family guy stealing the simpsons.
