It's cringey when you pretend a voice of authority over shit you know nothing about. Star Wars is about the oldest story the West has to offer.

In any case, the earliest known written record of Mulan's story (about Mulan disguising herself as a man to serve in the military in her father's place) goes back to ~400 A.D. I thought George Lucas invented "Star Wars" in the 1970's. Is that not the case?
