Haven't I seen this before?

So last Friday I watched and live blogged the new Pirates. TNT has been playing the first 2 all week. I was watching one on Sunday and then 2 on Monday and realized that it was the same movie as Star Wars (episodes 4-6), just on water.

• The pirates are just like the Jedi, the British are the Empire.
• The empire is trying to kill off all the Jedi, the British are trying to kill all the pirates.
  
• The Jedi use light sabers, the pirates use swords
• Both Pirates and Star Wars reference things that happened before the movie. Star Wars eventually made a prequel, and I bet Pirates will do the same.
• Star Wars takes places on many different planets with wierd names, pirates on many different islands with weird names.
  
• Orlando Bloom's character is just like Han Solo. Han Solo was not a Jedi but fought along side them, Orlando Bloom is not a pirate but fights along side them.
• Kiera Knightley and Princess Leia are both princesses and the daughter of the ultimate bad guy.
• The second episode in both series ends with a main character (Han Solo and Johnny Depp) in serious trouble, either dead or about to die.
• In Star Wars they use space ships and brag about how fast they are, in Pirates its different boats. Han Solo has the fastest ship in Star Wars, and Johnny Depp has the fastest ship in Pirates.
• Both of the end with the bad guy turning good at the end and fighting another bad guy.
• Star Wars has Chewbacca as comic relief, yet an important character. In Pirates their is a monkey who is comic relief yet serves an important purpose.
  

Not that it is a bad thing that movies are copying the awesome formula that Star Wars began.
