Lucas has never made a secret that Star Wars (and to a much larger degree, the Indiana Jones films) is a homage to the sci fi serials and movies he watched growing up.
And as Roger Ebert put it, Star Wars is essentially a western in outer space.

And as Roger Ebert put it, Star Wars is essentially a western in outer space. Thats true. In fact Hidden Fortress was Lucas' primary basis for Star Wars.

The Star Wars/ Kirby Creations particularly New Gods connection cannot be overlooked.
Luke Skywalker / a name inspired by Mark Moonrider
Darth Vader's appearance / Dr. Doom
Stormtroopers / Parademons
The Force / The Source
Death Star / Apokolips
Orion's struggle to resist the evil, handed down to him by his true father
Cloud city inspired by Supertown?
