Director Ralph Bakshi predicted Star Wars.

In a hilarious quote from an early scene in this 1972 animated film, a character talking to a crow (stand-ins for black people) remarks "Why does a great actor like James Earl Jones always have to play black men?" A mere 5 years later, in 1977, Star Wars: A New Hope premiered, where James Earl Jones played the most famous role of his entire career: the definitely caucasian Darth Vader.
