Does Lucas owe a debt to Wagner
for the story behind Star Wars?
Listen to the "Ride of the Valkyries" and the "Star Wars Theme" while you're reading all the similarities between the movie and the opera. You'll see it's more than just the story that is similar. Could that be why they're both so popular? They tell different versions of the same heroic story? You read, then you decide.
