Star Wars came more from serials like Buck Rogers than straight fantasy.

I disagree. Maybe aesthetically to some extent but the story and writing are more inspired by classical fantasy stories. It's a story about a poor farmer who joins a wizard on a quest to become a knight, save a princess from a dark wizard who serves an evil king. That's a fairy tale.

And it's also the modern canonical example of the Hero's Journey/Monomyth structure.

You can disagree as much as you'd like. Lucas said the main inspiration was serials.
