    I don’t think that’s what is implied. They’re implying that works with a lot of inspirational sources created the original Star Wars Trilogy, but then Star Wars was used as the sole inspiration for a bunch of other films. The post title says that this is a problem from a creativity standpoint.

    It makes no other statements aside from that.

      Something I admire about the fallout show that just came out is it actually has quite a few callbacks to the original source material (a boy and his dog, 1975) that inspired the first Fallout game. There are probably other influences that would be fun to learn about and it conceivably could be taken further to make a completely standalone series, and now I’m wondering what something like that would look like.

        In case you don’t know, Fallout was inspired by Wasteland and Wasteland has since been brought back and is inspired by (mostly classic) Fallout.
