After watching/seeking through many television programs of late, going to relax and watch some of the Inspiration movies which have influenced the Star Warses. Currently watching 'Hidden Fortress' in the queue are: Battle in Outer Space, Flash Gordon (Space Soldiers and Trip to Mars), Forbidden Planet, Kairyu Daikessen, Sanjuro, Seven Samurai, Silent Running, Space 1999, Dam Busters, The Searchers, Tora! Tora! Tora!, Triumph of the Wills, Yojimbo, 633 Squadron, Bridges at Toko-Ri & Twelve O'Clock High. Anyone out there seen any of these films and can remember anything particular which they thought was reminicent of some scene, dialog or other element of Star Wars?

Found an interesting inspiration in the Gene Roddenberry pilot "Planet Earth" (1974). Many of the women characters wear the same Leia ANH buns, and at one point a character is at an auction and one of the purchasers says "How about that one instead" very similar to Luke's choosing of R2 from the Jawas.
