Looking at these images from 70s French SciFi comic books it’s hard to not think of Star Wars. The creators of the original trilogy (and probably the prequels too) must have been influenced by Mézières, Moebius und Druillet to some extent.
What do you think? Are those resemblances just coincidences?
