Someone (perhaps Zombie) allegated that while the larger plot structure of Star Wars may have been borrowed from Hidden Fortress (as is often retold) that the bits inside the Death Star seem to be coming from elsewhere. This person hypothesizes that those scenes are adapted from Where Eagles Dare, what with the wookiee prisoner and all that. And then Dam Busters for the finale.

Hmm. That's interesting. Because I was inspired a bit by Where Eagles Dare in the prequel rewrite script that I'm writing. Although I won't reveal much yet, except that the finale is sort of a combination of '633 Squadron' and 'Where eagles dare'. I haven't finished the script yet, but I have outline of sorts...

And no, it is not in anyway related to the 'Adventures of Ric Olie' script. That was only done so I could free my head of silliness and concentrate on a more 'serious' script.
