In that case, I'll put forth what I've been thinking about recently: Megaforce/Super Megaforce was trying to copy Decade AND Star Wars (unsuccessfully)!

Think about it.

In Decade, Natsumi has a dream of a large, all-encompassing battle which ends on Decade himself before he is seen in reality!

In Megaforce, Troy has a dream of a large, all-encompassing battle which ends on Robo Knight himself before he is seen in reality!

I suppose one could also draw parallels between All Riders VS. Dai-Shocker and The Legendary Battle, but it's a stretch.

As for the Star Wars angle, I'm thinking more of the Armada in this case. What is the Armada? Is it known throughout the universe as just "The Armada" or does it have another more drawn-out name?

In Star Wars Episode Three, Palpatine says that "...the Republic will be re-organized into the First Galactic Empire...", but that's about it regarding naming conventions cause every Movie or Series just gives "The Empire" or "Imperial" this and "Imperial" that.

I don't see Troy as Luke or Anakin in this regard, and I don't think he summoned "The Force" to free Robo Knight from Vrak's control! That was just them copying Goseiger and skimping on the explanation.

I suppose one could view the Morphin Grid as the Power Ranger version of The Force, but it's a stretch.

P.S.: Robo Knight's weird and unexplained final appearance doesn't necessarily make him a "Force Ghost"!
