Yes, there are similarities. However, I think they're a bit inconsequential to be calling SW a blatant ripoff.

If it was, then why bring it up now after SW has been well known for almost 30 years?

This seems to be a reaction to the SW bashing that a lot of people seem to be starting. Even Lucas admits that if SW is a rip of of anything it is karasaura (i'm sure i spelt that wrong) movies.

Ripoff? Didn't GL draw from many sources for SW?

Yup. The template he used for it is of course the Hero's Journey IIRC.

Frank Herbert and David Lynch noted 16 points of similarity between SW and Dune. :wink:
