A number of striking parallels from what I can see:

Yoda/Gandalf/Oracle = Dumbledore (old, wise being giving advice to the hero)
Smeagol = Dobby (dirty, timid, little creature with his own agenda)
Chewbacca = Hagrid (huge beast that is protective of the heroes)
Emperor/Sauron = Voldemort (the Dark Lord)
the Force/abilities in the Matrix = Magic (special powers)
Luke/Neo = Harry Potter (the chosen one)
Prophecies in Star Wars/Matrix/Harry Potter

Everyone has AIDS!
AIDS AIDS AIDS!
AIDS AIDS AIDS AIDS AIDS AIDS!
Everyone has AIDS!

And so this is the end of our story
And everyone is dead from AIDS
It took from me my best friend
My only true pal
My only bright star (he died of AIDS)

Well I'm gonna march on Washington
Lead the fight and charge the brigades
There's a hero inside of all of us
I'll make them see everyone has AIDS

My father (AIDS!)
My sister (AIDS!)
My uncle and my cousin and her best friend (AIDS AIDS AIDS!)
The gays and the straights
And the white and the spades

Everyone has AIDS!
My grandma and my dog 'ol blue (AIDS AIDS AIDS)
The pope has got it and so do you (AIDS AIDS AIDS AIDS AIDS)
C'mon everybody we got quilting to do (AIDS AIDS AIDS AIDS AIDS)
We gotta break down these baricades, everyone has
AIDS! x 20

Harry Potter was in Star Wars.

The "Harry Potter" scene of Episode 3: Delivering Luke on Tatooine. Lucas added a 11-note tune that is VERY reminiscent of the Harry Potter theme =)

Great, you found archetypal similarities from quest stories that predate all of those books and movies.

Agree. He doesn't read much...
