Since some are sharing songs from youtube, I ran across an interesting coincidence recently.
I'm a big Beatles fan, as well as Star Wars. Well, just by chance recently, March of the Meanies by the Beatles played. I had to check the screen to see what was playing, as I didn't think that I had the Star Wars soundtrack on my iPhone. Lo and behold I saw that it was the Beatles.

Were the Beatles objectivists? Taxman was a great song. 1 for you, 19 for me (the taxman).

Yellow Submarine is my favorite Beatles movie.

The songs are similar but I don't think the same. I'd have to look at the sheet music to be sure.

  might not be the best comparison - there's nearly 10 hours of music for Star Wars - but as you listen to March of the Meanies, doesn't it make you think that it's Star Wars?

While there are similarities, I don't think there's enough overlap to call it "plagiarism".
I imagine, however, the Beatles were a musical influence on John Williams.

As far as the Beatles are concerned... tastes vary.
