Give “The Incal” by Moebius and Jodorowsky a try too. It’s pretty weird but in a good way …

I think you are generally right, but there are also some examples (like the probe droid) that seem to be copied directly. Joe Johnston also admitted to directly copying a pose from the Moebius story “The Long Tomorrow”: http://kitbashed.com/blog/moebius

Have you seen this video? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dK8B10_oY5g
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?
