I'll defer to my more filmgeeky friends on this, but I figure Tarantino is a lot like Lucas in that regard. Lucas is a thief on many levels, but the innovation comes in putting the influences together in a new package that the current generation connects with. I have no problem calling both Tarantino and Lucas innovators. The film world would be far different without them.
