So in a sense you can say GI Joe has been ripping off Star Wars for over 25 years now. Just something to think about.
i hear ya bud, and maybe, more than likely, Joe was in a since, a rip off of the success of SW, but just to the point of making a toyline out of it...it had it's own ideas, look and feel...according to quite a few people, much of the feel of this film is a SW ripoff...my problem isn't neccessarily with that directly, but more of the cop out/laziness of Hollywood these days...there was already soooo much original stuff for Joe and they went and changed it to be more inline with the popular sci-fi films to capitalize on them for $$$ reasons...
