To an extent, sure. All the great painters started off as art thieves or apprentices creating duplicates of existing art pieces, etc.
But like AI, Lucas quite arbitrarily mashed together ideas, whole plots, visuals, and even editing styles of stuff he liked and got quite lucky that the main audience he attracted had little interest in any of the disparate parts he stole. Don’t get me wrong, like AI, he made something kinda neat that if you’re not very media saturated you might like; but also like AI you’ll always feel as if something’s… off. Like you can tell the pieces don’t really go together. Like it’s the facsimile of itself. Like it’s what would come out if you tried to describe it to someone.
Generally Art uses themes, minor parts, heavily practiced individual strokes. It is not a jigsaw.
I mean, to be fair to the 70s version of Lucas, that’s basically how all art works. New combinations of old ideas.
