Star Wars inspired two Final Fantasy ideas.

Kitase says he liked Star Wars so much that he was careful not to borrow from it in a way that would make Final Fantasy feel like a copy. Still, two influences found their way into the series. In Final Fantasy VI, he chose the names Biggs and Wedge as a Star Wars homage. For Final Fantasy X, the pod race in Star Wars: Episode I gave him a different idea: that a fantasy world could have its own sport. That broader concept became the starting point for Blitzball.
