I was thinking of sources of the general space opera genre, but the
suggestions given here for sources of Star Wars are intriguing.
Anybody else want to join in? Lucas said when the film first came out
that one of his main inspirations was dogfights in WW II movies,
which explains the way the battle around the Death Star was shot.
