Trantor was the name of the totally urbanized planet in Foundation. Trantor was
also capital of the Galactic Empire, another concept found in Star Wars.
Actually, now that I think about it, the Jedi and the Sith are a little like
the two Foundations, with the mind powers and all. Anyway, I don't think
originality is what makes Star Wars great, but it is important to remember good
old sci-fi like Asimov, Bradbury, and Heinlein.
