Default Re: Is the original BG a Star Wars rip off?

Actually, Star Wars is a ripoff of Flash Gordon (idea) and Kurosawa's "Hidden Fortress." Lucas has even said as much...

But when it gets down to it, a court of law ruled that BSG was not 'stolen' from Lucas, so that should settle it once and for all....

Star Wars paved the way for that kind of action oriented sci-fi and the rest just followed right on through the opening...
