Re: 'The Dambusters' meet 'Star Wars'
Took no skill at all. One of the items of Star Wars lore (but actual fact) was that George Lucas used clips from WWII movies to illustrate scenes in the Star Wars movies both to pay homage and to make it easier for the VFX guys to know what to do. As a result, you see things like the 3-ship peel off that is an exact copy of a 3-plane peel-off from Tora!, Tora!, Tora!, and the Deathstar attack scene which was based off of the Dambusters attack scene. It's funny how people respond with comments to that clip about how Lucas was a thief and such, but if they looked at those films and then other films that came before them, they'd find the same thing happening as well all the way back to the start of film. Why fix it if it ain't broke? (to use the American phrase)

I think Richard Todd's reaction to hearing Obi Wan say 'Use the force, Luke' is perfect. Great editing.
