Correction: Sky Captain is a copy of old serials, right down to the letter. Star Wars and Indiana Jones were inspired by old serials, among many other things. You see Sky Captain and instantly think Flash Gordon, but you don't instantly think The Hidden Fortress when you see Star Wars, or Gunga Din when you see Indiana Jones (well, maybe you do if you like old movies). Star Wars in particular was inspired by so many different things yet still retained a very unique identity of its own.
Sky Captain is great, though! Awesome movie.
