    Since there seems to be some doubt as to the fact that Star Wars was completely born of George Lucas (and not taken from a Star Wars paper series) I have found more links to help this discussion along. This is a quote from a fan mail answer from George Lucas:

    How did you come up Star Wars especially with the words light saber, Jedi, Wookiee, Yoda, etc. Star Wars ROCKS MY WORLD! THANK YOU VERY, VERY MUCH FOR MAKING STAR WARS!

    George Lucas: Star Wars was born out of my love for the adventure serials I use to watch at the theater as a child. These serials included Buck Rogers and Flash Gordon. I wanted to give children a new mythology that taught them the difference between right and wrong.I decided to call the laser swords light sabers because of obvious reasons. The swords were sabers that were made of light so the name is really just common sense.

    The word Jedi originated from a little known religion in Albania. I’ll let you research the rest. It’s quite interesting.

    One day I was driving in a car with somebody and this person hit a bump in the road. They said I think I just hit a Wookiee. I thought that was a good name so I used it to describe Chewbacca’s species.

    Yoda is a derivation of Yoga. Simple as that.

    And also:
    1975 -- George Lucas conceives of and writes the basic story of Anakin Skywalker's rise, fall and ultimate redemption. This story becomes too large for one film and Lucas divides the story into two trilogies. The first trilogy focuses on the life of a young Anakin Skywalker while the second trilogy focuses on the life of Anakin's son, Luke Skywalker. Lucas chooses to make the second trilogy first since it appears to be the most exciting one to film at the time.

    Merchandise ALWAYS hits the stores before the movie does... has nothing to do with the inspiration for the film itself.
