 As depicted by Bear, Spencer was aware of this Kingdom's existence and his work was actually a description of fact rather than invented fantasy; Queen Elizabeth I had a secret pact of mutual help with the Queen of Faerie; and such historical characters as Christopher Marlowe and William Shakespeare visited Faerie and had various adventures there.According to Richard Simon Keller, George Lucas's "Star Wars" film also contains elements of a loose adaptation, as well as being influenced by other works, with parallels including the story of the Red Cross Knight championing Una against the evil Archimago in the original compared with Lucas's Luke Skywalker, Princess Leia, and Darth Vader.Keller sees extensive parallels between the film and book one of Spenser's work, stating "[A]lmost everything of importance that we see in the "Star Wars" movie has its origin in "The Faerie Queene", from small details of weaponry and dress to large issues of chivalry and spirituality".
