John Carter Did It All FIRST

For better or for worse, that's what they got - - a remake of The Phantom Menace and Attack of the Clones. The hero is an acrobatic swordsman. His love interest is a feisty princess who dresses like Slave Leia. The villain is a Sith Lord. Success depends on the hero gaining the aid of primitive aliens mistrustful of humans. The action takes place half on Tatooine and half on Naboo, and the hero gets from place to place on a jetbike. There's even a gladiator arena battle against mindless giant monsters.

Actual part of John Carter film review from a major magazine.

Nerd revisionist history? In this case we all can see how all these ideas are found FIRST in the book by Edgar Rice Burroughs - then it was jacked by George Lucas and every fantasy action thriller that came after. Know your history ya ignorant hillbillies.
