Sorry, that doesn’t really fly, Star Wars was never “known for its originality.”
You’ve got to be joking. Star Wars was the first movie of it’s kind. It doesn’t get much more original than that.
Nope, not joking at all. Because that’s not really what we’re discussing here. There’s nothing story-wise (and a lot otherwise) in Star Wars that is original.
It is what we’re really discussing here. Star Wars provided a unique visual and auditory experience, as did it’s sequels and prequels to a somewhat lesser degree up till the ST. Borrowing elements from other works of fiction and combining them into something new and original is not the same as borrowing heavily from previous Star Wars films both visually and narratively to create another Star Wars film.
