Yeah, but Iron Man predated Star Wars by over ten years, and the second series by something like thirty years. Lucas never had an original thought in his life, except for JarJar Binks and the Ewoks, and we saw how those turned out. Much of the story line for the first three episodes of Star Wars was ripped from Kirby’s New Gods comics, and Darth Vader was such a blatant rip off of Doctor Doom that Marvel had to recreate the character for the Fantastic Four movie.

Lucas also ripped off Kurosawa’s films and the old Flash Gordon serials of the 1930s with Buster Crabbe.
