Lucas been accused of stealing before?


They talk about Prowse coming up with the idea of Vader being Luke's father, I thought I recall someone saying Lucas got his ideas for some of the space creatures from the kids show "Far out space nuts". Use to walk around the set of something like that. Or maybe I dreamed it, lol.

Almost every artist of every kind has been accused of stealing.

Yes, most of the story elements of Star Wars are lifted from somewhere! That's half the fun of it, how familiar it all is. Young man of uncertain parentage growing up in humble circumstances, wise olf mentor-figure, sidekicks, a princess to rescue...it's all been done before. See Joseph Campbell's The Hero with a Thousand Faces.
