If you watch enough old scifi and adventure movies, you’ll learn to welcome the “so that’s where Lucas took that idea from” feeling as an old friend. He lifted a lot.

The sci-fi artists were really all copying each other and building off of one another anyways.
It’s the same with almost all art anyways, it’s “inspiration” by another word.
That just is what all storytelling is. You mix and match characters, tropes, settings, and such from other stories and irl and mix it all together to get something “original”

Well even paintings and music is usually inspired by something as well, it’s not just limited to the medium of story telling.
