Lord of the Rings drinks from European mythology, and Star Wars toke more than a few clues from a particular film of Kurosawa. Both evolved in interesting histories, innovated a lot and add their own work and merit, of course. This happened in part because they were not sued by former authors.

Oh, I almost forgot it... and Star wars toke also "more than inspiration" from the french comic Valerian. The designs from the imperial probe droid in Hoth or the Leia's bikini were taken directly from the comics with minimum changes, and without asking anybody.
This, lets call it, "cross pollination" would be much more difficult today.
