Re: Star Wars

Many were ripping off, though, as opposed to paying homage.

Star Wars was most closely inspired by Akira Kurasawa's "Hidden Fortress". It's uncanny how close the two films are while being of two quite different genres.

I'd like to forget all that Tolkien inspired Rock music including Led Zeppelin (although I do have an embarrassingly soft spot for "The Battle Of Evermore&quot

; and most of you have probably never heard of the band Gandalf. Ysssh! Or Bo Hanssen's "Lord Of The Rings", another one I'd like to forget.
