When you go about your day, you use many products and gadgets. You think you know what’s going to happen when you push a button, or squeeze a tube. What if something completely different happened? And when you tried it again, something else happened?
Terri Timely and Park Pictures took that idea and ran with it, in the surreal short film Input/Output. It’s three minutes of pure bizarreness. -via Tastefully Offensive

Everyone has influences. You just can't do anything that doesn't have elements of something else. Some may be direct influence, or and artist or authors come up with similar ideas independently.
Even in the case of the obvious similarities between C3PO and the lady robot in "Metropolis"... It is not a stretch for any Sci-Fi author to imagine a metal humanoid robot. Just try to come up with something that doesn't look influenced by "Metropolis".
There is still room to be creative, despite similarities to other works. The same people that designed the characters in Star Wars also did the ships and those were certainly quit different from what had been seen before.
