The genre of Science Fiction is fairly incestuous anyway, and Star Wars shamelessly ripped off many things that came before it. Dune, The Foundation trilogy ... heck, you could easily draw a few parallels with The Wizard of Oz.
The genius of Star Wars, though, is that it took Sci-Fi out of the realm of guys like me, and made it enjoyable to the masses.
