The Star Wars series and Wagner's Ring

LUKE & SIEGFRIED? LEIA & BRUNNHILDE?!

Or maybe Luke & Leia = Siegmund & Sieglinde.

It may seem strange to connect two so very different works of "art".

The one, Richard Wagner's Ring is undoubtedly the peak of musical romanticism, and by many praised as the greatest work of art ever produced.

The other, the Star Wars film trilogy (which recently became a tetralogy, and is later to become a hexalogy) is a purely commercial product of the American film industry, by many not counted at all as a work of "art".

    Indiana Jones might have been based on a real live person. Only he wasn't American. He was a German former boy scout who was fascinated with the grail and was recruited by the SS to research the grail legends. His name? Otto Rahn. Reference link
