Cool. I doubt anyone really knew star wars would grow to how big it is today. Even if it's pretty much based on everything else ever. @joeysellers

The base inspiration for Star Wars was "Buck Rogers" if I recall correctly. George Lucas wanted to make a movie for that franchise, but couldn't because of legal issues, so he created his own universe.

@MechWARRIOR57 Yes, Doctor Who is still running. It was off air for several years (but still had books & comics & even a made-for-TV movie), but it's still around. I said "long-running" because I'm not sure if there is another TV program that has been the air longer than that show. Does anybody know of another one?

um doctor who is still running I thought @joeysellers

Oh. Yea I see that now. I misread your comment. :P
I also see while on the subject the DL-44 blaster (The Blaster pistol Han Solo uses) is basically a C96 pistol. Yep. Star Wars inspiration everywhere. @joeysellers

@KDS Star Wars is better, but I didn't mention Star Trek. Bossk is in The Empire Strikes Back, but his costume came from the long-running TV show DOCTOR WHO.

No I didn't know that, i'm not really into Star Trek....

@joeysellers

Ah, yeah. Inspiration for Star Wars can be found everywhere. Did you know that Bossk, one of the bounty hunters from Episode V, wore the same costume used on an episode of Doctor Who?

its uncanny, its the same handle, trigger guard, stock, barrel mounted bipod

Either way they are still similar. @Zandgard

Most of the original Star Wars weapons were made from old props for war-themed movies, or so I've heard. Also, looking at them, I can recognize a lot of them as obsolete real-world weapons.

they use a german mg-34

@KDS google mg 42

Which game developer is NOT s star wars fan ;)@KDS

They got inspired by the gun because it was extremely good at the war@XxcreedexX
