I posted this on here a couple of years ago, but it didn´t get much of a response.
I have an observation that seems a bit odd between the original 1978 Superman and Episode II. In the funeral scene near the beginning of Superman, after Clark Kent´s earthy father (Glenn Ford´s character) dies of a heart attack, Kent says something to the effect of, ¨All these powers, and I couldn´t save him...¨ Now, watch (but only with extreme caution!) Episode II´s funeral scene with Anakin speaking about his mother Shmi... Correct me if I´m wrong, but I believe the lines are almost exactly the same (i.e. ¨All my powers couldn´t save her...¨). Has anyone else noticed this?
I don´t know if it´s plagerism, Lucas not being original, or mere coincidence... Any thoughts?
