Image of original C- 3PO art	Star Wars has very clear references to the 1930s film Metropolis. The character of C-3PO was inspired by the android in the silent film.
Image of Rotwang showing his robot hand	Star Wars also has the hands of both Luke and Anakin Skywalker cut off and replaced by robotic hands as a reference to the evil scientist Rotwang, who has a metal hand covered by a black glove.
Image of C-3PO from Episode I without gold plating	Anakin is also the creator of C-3PO, just like Rotwang was the creator of the android.
Image of the Workers City from Metropolis	There are also similar themes between the movies, including a struggle between the lower class and an oppressive upper class.
Image of Moloch Machine from Metropolis	The upper class and their superior and deadly machinery oppress the lower class.
Image of Darth Vader	Darth Vader also mirrors the android of Metropolis, being half human and half machine created to destroy the heroes of the story.
