I agree with this. Very few young people would have had access to the movies Lucas copied from. In the seventies you had to live in a city big enough to have art theaters to know that the light saber fights came from samurai movies. It took me 30 years from the time I saw Star Wars to find Hidden Fortress.
Ironically the actors in the third trilogy were immeasurably better than in the first but the budget and changes in film production had them doing their scenes in front of a green screen and it lost the fun factor of the early movies.
