It's amazing how derivative Star Wars appears after going back and watching 2001.

Similarly go back and watch Westworld (the movied) and see how it makes you feel about Terminator.

Very little of SW was original, but it's a more satisfying movie than 2001. At least there was a sensible ending. So, glad it was made. Shame about the later sequels though.
