Although I wish he'd show a little more variety.

*Sigh* Actually yes it was kind of a joke on John Williams music sounding the same but it was also a jab at him tending to rip off ... mabey rip off is too strong a phrase ... so I'll go with "be Heavily Influenced" by other composers and works.
The single most famous and notable example is the comparison between The Imperial march, and Holsts Mars (From Holsts the planets)
Some lesser Star Wars examples include Dvorak's 9th, and Wagner's Ring series.
And more reacently, (and i also think more shamelessly) John Williams has been "Heavily influenced" by Danny Elfman ¦:/
