Gladiatrix costume...Hrm.. The Flail is quite a bit off, but the heels *really* makes it :?
Obi-Wonkanobi...HA! I love it! That's too damn funny! Mind if I use that?
Most Star Wars stuff is certainly taken from all sorts of cultures and time periods. Look at Darth Vader...Helmet is both Samurai and German Wermacht inspired. The Death Star gunners, Jousting helmets; Fleet commanders, early Samurai helmets, almost too obvious; Space Battle Scenes, taken from WW1 and WW2 fighter and bomber gun cameras. (that actually was thier resource material!). Millenium Falcon, Cheeseburger....It's FULL of references. that's what makes the films so much more fun!
