Long, long ago, in a galaxy far, far away…
Did you know that Star Wars was a straight remake of Dambusters?
"How many guns do you think Gold Leader?”… “Say about 20 guns, some on the surface, some on the towers"
"I’m going to cut across the axis and try to draw their fire."
These dialogues taken from Star Wars during the attack on the Death Star were originally from the scene in Dambusters when the Lancasters were attacking the German dams.
The lasers shooting from the Death Star match the tracer fired from the Dams.
The scene cutting from the attack to the control room and back to the the attack are the same in both films.
In Dambusters the pilots use converging lights to gauge their altitude and in Star Wars the Navi Computer lines converge.
While writing this post I found this great piece on You Tube.

Have you spotted any other connections between films…
