Some of George Lucass inspirations for Star Wars are well documented, but Squarespace interface director Michael Heilemann is working on the definitive guide. Heilemann has worked to record and discover both the obvious and less clear allusions in Lucas work, and hes writing a (work-in-progress) ebook on his findings. In addition, hes published a (far from complete) mashup of Star Wars that splices in scenes and music from other films right alongside the sequences that they inspired. The resulting video is as longer than the movie itself, but it shows off everything from the title crawl in Flash Gordon serials to scenes from The Searchers, Casablanca, and Akira Kurosawas The Hidden Fortress.
