Star Wars is a ripoff of some international (Italian? Japanese? I don’t know) movie.
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.
Well, you know the old adage: “Good artists copy, great artists steal”
Hidden Fortress by Akira Kurosawa. It’s still enjoyable today IMO, and you can really see how some of the characters are a direct line to Star Wars characters.
Now this information makes “Star Wars Visions: Ronin” look like the the “back to the roots” material.
Akakiri is an even better example.
Star Wars is the plot of Hidden Fortress, in a universe similar to Dune, in the style of Flash Gordon, but with genius special effects and Jaws level care for every aspect of the production of the film itself.
So, an original work then.
Good artists copy, great artists steal
Sounds like an AI prompt
The music tends to be left off lists like this but without that fabulous score and the genius of John Williams and the London Symphony Orchestra, Star Wars would not have had the same emotional impact.
