Star Wars – Reverse References

A collection of references, some obvious, others less so on the influences of Star Wars. A rather interesting read.

Concentrating on influences or references utilized in films based solely on the Star Wars saga doesn't paint a whole reference picture. Some people may be surprised that Lucas borrowed so many elements from the past. But, anyone who watches films or reads books, all genres and generations, realizes that there is nothing new in the world. We repeat and repackage themes over and over again. I, for one, am thankful there are people on the planet, like Lucas, who pay homage to ideas, story concepts and visual elements from admired and legendary foundations.

It must have taken a lot of time and close examination to put this all together. There's even some Indiana Jones references towards the bottom of the page.
