Star Wars owes a lot to Jack Kirby, too. It’s not difficult to see the influence of The New Gods in the Star Wars mythology, and Dr Doom clearly influenced aspects of the Darth Vader character.

I don’t think Lucas ever owned up to that, but I confess I don’t know for sure

And don't forget "Darkseid".
