It's a ripoff In the way that the heroes journey is retold. Is O Brother Where Art Though a rip off of the Odyssey? The idea of balance to the universe and spiraling storylines are built into the almost Shinto religion of the Jedis. It's about connecting to the past. Is it any surprise that we see a new story with parallels to the repeating stories?

Americans have the idea of ripping off ideas way off. It's about iteration and revision. People have been riffing on older stories since we first started telling stories.
