A lot of Star Wars was from Dune, which used various sources and Lucas used some classic Japanese stuff, like Hidden Fortress. IMO there is little original in Star Wars. I loved the original in 1979 when I saw it in the Cinema. The third with teddy bears a lot poorer. Least said about the Toy company funded Phantom Menace the better. $100 M from Hasbro.
People DO still create mythology that's believed. Scientology. Or Wicca, it's only since the 1950s. The Mediums and Seance stuff invented by people PROVEN to be frauds at the time, in the 19th Century.
The myths about Kennedy, Area 51, Apollo and Twin Towers.
The Czarist era myths about Jewish People invented by Russians.
