i thought this was pretty cool:
In the Star Wars expanded universe, there is a planet known as Onderon (featured in the game Knights of the Old Republic II: The Sith Lords). Onderon is unique because its largest moon, Dxun, orbits so close to the planet at times that their atmospheres mix together and create a tunnel of air between the two. Dxun is filled with many vicious beasts, which take advantage of the tunnel of air to migrate down to the planet and terrorize the natives. It all bears too much resemblance to the "Lunar Cry" in FF8, where monsters all flood down to the planet, to be a coincidence. In addition, the tomb of the great dark Jedi Freedon Nadd is located on Dxun. This is similar to the fact that the Sorceress Adel's tomb orbits the planet in FF8.

You know, I'd almost buy it if it wasn't for the fact that vicious monsters also came from the moon in Final Fantasy IV. That's probably where they got the idea from and used it as homage, not from Star Wars.

Its no secret though that Sakaguchi is a huge fan of Star Wars and has put some homage to it in his FF games (Biggs and Wedge are 2 examples).

Well yeah, I agree, but in a different way --- there are already so many obvious references to Star Wars that I'm not sure I see the point of trying to conjure up even more that are sketchy at best.

wow i just thought it was interesting. ff8 was released before kotor 2 was anyways i didnt say square got the idea from them.
The way I see it, who cares? Star Wars sucks. Although I would say that there are similarities with all the FF games I've played and different sci-fi movies, but you'll find that in almost anything.

err. Sakaguchi likes SW duh.
Also he likes 2002 a space odyssey if you watch the spirits within you will see the resemblance. He takes from many universes but . He is not in SE now. Unfortunately.
