Nothing like a little Star Wars to bring all the nerds out of the basement.
Original trilogy: Space cowboys, doesn't hold up Prequel trilogy: Pretty good telling of Anakin's descent into rage.
Albeit by 'woman in refrigerator' and 'mystical pregnancy' tropes. Padmé was one of the better characters, Anakin allowed himself to be tricked, the noob
Oh please. I love Ghibli and Nausicaa as much as the next person but any similarities between these images are marginal at best.
The first image is someone wearing generic desert clothes and goggles. If the person in the Star Wars image had a breathing apparatus similar to Nausicaa's, then you could claim it was maybe ripping it off. The breathing apparatus is the unique feature there. Instead, the Star Wars image is just generic scarf and goggles.
The second image is just a large interior shot of a spaceship. Nausicaa didn't invent large caverns, and even if it did, the Star Wars shot is inside a ship, it's not in a natural cavern with flora and fauna covering the ground and weird insects in the foreground.
Finally, the third image is even more generic. Main character in the desert looks off into the distance. Big deal, she has a droid next to her. There's nothing in this image that rips off Nausicaa. if anything, the last shot looks like an homage to this image from the original Star Wars, which came out in 1977, before Nausicaa:
I think I'll go immerse myself in spoilers. I have the benefit of being of turning into a slack-jawed idiot as soon as a movie turns on, so I'll forget everything I read anyway.

I had to quit Clone Wars after 11 episodes. It was just so bad. You'll know I'm in too deep when early December comes around and I'm back watching the rest of Clone Wars.
Rebels has been really good though! Season 2 just started.
I like RotJ a lot. People be all anti-Ewok, but Ep 6 has all the real epic Star Wars shit.
Jabba gettin' choked out, check. Fett in the Saarlac, check. Bonus Yoda time, check. Fully operational battle station, check. It's a trap, check. Speeder bike chase, check. Best space battle, check. Best lightsaber battle, check. Super Star Destroyer, check.

Guy's a badass. The only character that stayed mostly awesome in the prequels (unless you really liked Yoda using a lightsaber).
That's because Ian McDiarmid is a fucking amazing actor. I'm really upset they made him go all ninja in Revenge of the Sith because it totally ruined the mystique of the Emperor.

There are still a bunch of comics that let you get some hot Emperor action.

Calling it now, this movie is going to own.
Still don't care. I am on maximum hype.

Controversy averted.
I watched the new trailer at least 5 times thinking of all the different possibilities of unknown things/characters.
let's compare comparisons
Also everyone steals from the forgotten masters.
Look inside your heart. You know it's true.
Rebels has been really good though! Season 2 just started.
As an adult, Empire is now my favorite.
My favorite part of the prequel trilogy is still the idea of pod racing.
Jabba gettin' choked out, check.
Fett in the Saarlac, check.
Bonus Yoda time, check.
Fully operational battle station, check.
It's a trap, check.
Speeder bike chase, check.
Best space battle, check.
Best lightsaber battle, check.
Super Star Destroyer, check.
And most importantly
Mah boyeee DAH EMPEROR.
Better CHECK yourself haters.
"I don't know, fly casually!"
But that's ok. Second best lines also in the same movie.
Beetch of a Wookie, Chewbacca!*
