My thoughts exactly - I always have fun paralleling as much of it as I can to Star Wars (the original trilogy) which is also derivative. But it is interesting to recognize that the whole series (and it ain't short or finished for that matter) was written by a teenage boy (he may be twenty now but he was only sixteen when he wrote the first one).
