Ah, yeah, Big GL celebrates his 65th birthday today.

So best wishes to you and thank you for six awesome movies ( the first three SW- and the first three Indiana Jones-movies wink.gif ). May you reach your former class again to provide people with awesomeness like they havent been provided since a very long long time. I know that some here rather believe that you wont be able to do that. But maybe theres still hope. wink.gif

A couples of months ago I was zapping through the tv-channels and stumbled over a WW2-movie called "The Dambusters". Never even heard or seen that movie, but the scenes and the dialogues striked me so familiar it was just unbelievable. It looks like as if GL copied it 1:1 into his Star Wars universe.

The Dambusters - The first Dam

GL only admitted so far that he has been inspired by the movie "633 Squadron" which is also about a bombing run.

Well anyway, for your amusement:

The Dambusters ala Star Wars

633 Squadron - Deathstar Attack

Definitely. I remeber noting this years ago when I caught a rerun of Dambusters on some TV channel. And looking at the youtube clips now I realize why. So many things lifted scene by scene into Star Wars, including:

Pilots reporting in to their leader.

How many guns do you think? Some in the tower.

Leader starting his run.

Cutting back and forth to HQ where the generals fret.

Running towards the flak.

The others cutting across trying to draw fire.

Even relying on instruments to drop the bomb (though not as advanced as targeting computers they serve the same purpose.)

And if one looks att Dambusters - the Second Dam it even includes the line 'We should be able to see it by now'.


I wouldn'r really hesitate long to call the Star Wars trench run Dambusters in Space.


Add the enemy gunners, enemy fighters and the Music from Squadron 663 and you more or less have it.

Practically the only thing missing is 'It just impacted on the surface' and you might almost infer that too to Dambusters.

Can we say that GL is a plagiator?

In German, we could. In American English, it would be plagiarist.

Don't forget Mosquito Squadron. More Barnes Wallis bouncing bombs, only this time into a opening which leads to a Nazi cave. The twist is that the bomber's best buddy is also in the cave held as a prisoner/human sheild, and the bomber is currently shagging his buddy's wife.

It could be added to their language as all the other german words like angst, kindergarten and so forth. :P
