8 seconds of Star Wars (ANH) was used to establish the time and space background for the "battle of Yavin": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3yWrXPck6SI#t=20s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3yWrXPck6SI#t=20s and the rest of that scene plays out in the real time (15min) given during those eight seconds.
In contrast, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BEv999K5Lr0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BEv999K5Lr0 , with a similar theme and screen time, is nowhere close to real time or distances. (although I guess Star Wars did have a strong advantage in being fictional)
- buildsjets 2y agoVirtually the entire Battle of Yavin was directly copied from the old WWII movie “The Dambusters”. The dialog, the planning scenes, the special targeting device, the trench run, the sequence of battle, Lucas pretty much ganked it all. https://youtu.be/lNdb03Hw18M?si=LRuJEFmZEK5vGN_s https://youtu.be/lNdb03Hw18M?si=LRuJEFmZEK5vGN_s
