Good artists steal

There's a motif in the Rites of Spring (with oboe and clarinet) which John Williams obviously stole outright for the scenes where the robots are staggering around in the hold of the Jawa sandcrawler in Star Wars Episode IV. There are other parts which obviously informed the music for the scenes with the Sand People. Others yet for landscape scenes of Tatooine.

No, no point. It just struck me as I'm listening to Le sacre du printemps, and I thought I'd mention it.
