I just wanted to say THANK YOU to XenuHubbard for bringing up Kurosawa.
Anyone who thinks that Star Wars is so original needs to see THE HIDDEN FORTRESS immediately! Also check out John Ford's THE SEARCHES.
Lucas borrows so liberally from both of these movies it's criminal.
Star Wars was original because of Industrial Light and Magic AND the way it was MARKETED. End of story.
