Considering George Lucas was inspired by Foundation, it would be Asimov.

Don't be naive by believing Jewish lies. SW is carbon copy of Dune. He simply didn't acknowledge it, and went for a more far-fetched source.

Ah yes the story that says that you should never blindly follow an apparent messiah is the same story as the one about blindly following the messiah.

this. I view them on about the same level. I'm saying good things about george here, not bad things about tolkein.

tolkein. harry potter didn't have anywhere near the cultural impact star wars did.

Before Star Wars, the film industry was in massive decline. It was considered a sleazy medium. Average film quality was at an all time low, and the industry was generally used as a creative way to sell pornography to people who had limited access to more typical forms of porn(through rampant sex scenes and nudity). Symphonic scores were rare, replaced with tracks from small bands. People on television were even talking about the medium going out of style completely. Go organize some of your favorite films, you will most likely find a massive hole between the 60s and 80s.

Star Wars singlehandedly pulled the medium back into mainstream, blew up the science fiction genre, demonstrated a massive market for merch and an extended universe, and rescued the symphonic soundtrack(which hasn't gone out of style again since). It was an incredible artistic feat. I would compare Star Wars to things like LotR, The Beatles, Harry Potter, Pokemon, etc. since these were all mainstream giants that had significant effects on mediums and genres, and continue to influence culture after decades.
