So Naruto is just blatantly ripping off Star Wars?

I mean, you already had the Obito/Darth Vader connections, and Madara mirrors the Emperor, but now they even mention the dark side? Wow, just, wow, Kishi, oh well, I LOVE STAR WARS ANYWAYS!!!!!

Not necessarily. Star wars follows the Hero's Journey formula. It's a concept that has existed for a long time.

They bear similarity, but I wouldn't say that is his major inspiration.

Not really.

Its Star Wars ripping off a very old formula for a hero and prophecy story line.

Its a very old story line that has been used many times, Star Wars is just one of the more famous users of the story line, but there are many stories that use the same story line.

Naruto mostly resembles ancient tales or myths, Korean folk tales and things in that nature.

As if Star Wars didn't mirror the bible in some way. Skywalker didn't have a father, his mother was conceived through midi-chlorians. He was also referred to as the chosen one, the one who will bring balance.

Originality doesn't exist.

Actually in truth every type of story has already been told, every new book, movie, TV show, comic, or manga (or any other form of story telling) is just the same old story being told in a new way.

For example, look at the Matrix, humanity is nearly destroyed by machines gone rogue, the same story is used in the Terminator, I Robot, and about a gazillion other stories.

Then their is the Last Samurai story line, also used in Avatar, Ferngully, Pocahantus, Dances with Wolves, and a thousand other stories.

Then their is the super hero story line, every super hero movie and comic is the same story just told a little differently, the hero gets his power and beats up a bad guy that also has powers.

I always compared Naruto to Harry Potter.
