  To be fair World War II was kind of a World War I rip off.

  A lot of the side character archetypes/interactions are stolen from Hidden Fortress too. Like the two drunks becoming the bickering droids.

Please use spoiler tags whenever commenting a spoiler in a non-spoiler thread. Most of the Lemmy clients don’t support this but we want to get into the habit as clients will be supporting in the future.
