The one bonus feature the disc had was Lucas talking about Hidden Fortress. He pretty much completely admits to using the 2 peasants as "inspiration" for 3PO and R2, but any other similarities are "only coincidence." I call BS. Having now read the synopsis and story of the early drafts of Star Wars, it seems to me that ol' George was having trouble coming up with a story and copied Hidden Fortress. But through a number of rewrites the story changed.
