Il est clair qu'en 1977, Lucas n'a pas inauguré un univers SF à lui tout seul. Le items, personnages et concepts ont des racines dans la tradition cinématographique, littéraire et surtout de bande dessinée, notamment en France.
"There are quite a few illustrators in the science-fiction and science-fantasy modes I like very much. I like them because their designs and imaginations are so vivid […] Druillet and Moebius are quite sophisticated in their style.”
- George Lucas, 1979
