I'm not sure if plagiarized is the right term, but here's the story about George Lucas and his costume minions: One day my mother and I were walking through a bookstore when a paper doll book caught my eye. The book was Glamorous Stars of the Forties Paper Dolls by Tom Tierney. Right smack dab on the cover was a dress designed by Vera West and worn by Maria Montez in the 1944 movie Cobra Woman. I thought to myself... Hmm, that looks really familiar. Gasp! It's from Star Wars Episode I! After a bit of Internet research I found that the dress in question is called the "Theed Palace Dress" and is worn by Padme Amidala on Naboo. Coincidence?
