Might as well say it copied "The Wizard of Oz".
All 'evidence' from the OP aside, I didn't find it to be all that similar to Star Wars--only in broad archetypical ways. Some of the primary arguments were:

An evil emperor who goes from being apparently benign to full-out evil
Go read some Joseph Cambell. It'll do you good.
