The attack on the Death Star at the end is taken from "633 squadron". (Seriously. Watch it. The situation and scenes are almost identical. Even the dialogue is pretty much the same).

Really? I'm going to have to look this up. I always thought the final battle scene of Star Wars was a mashup of Battle of Britain (which also has surprisingly similar dialogue) and The Dam Busters.

I'm not the only one who's commented on the similarity.

Lucas has even acknowledged the similarity. Here's another with the dialogue reversed the other way.
