Also George Lucas wrote Star Wars because he desperately wanted to make a Flash Gordon movie and he couldn’t get the rights. If you watch the Flash Gordon movie that was eventually made, you can definitely see the influences.

I mean, watch the Flash Gordon serials from the 30s, and you really get a Star Wars vibe.

That's also how DARKMAN got made; Sam Raimi wanted to make a Shadow movie but couldn't get the rights, so created his own vengeful lunatic in a long black coat.
