Star Wars is interesting in that it's a big franchise IP that isn't an adaption of a book or comic

Yea, in the case of Star Wars, there's a lot of borrowing from old ideas and mythological forms as well as the samurai and western genres that I'm not sure it entirely counts ... it probably sits in its own little category of sort of fairy tale literature brought to film, which is an achievement in its own right.
