Both Star Wars and LoS are epic stories, which tend to follow a similar path (the hero's journey). So, in that respect, they are similar to one another (and to other epics like Lord of the Rings and Homer's Odyssey).

Still reminds me of Star Wars....for some odd reason. Eh, may be my imagination.

I believe Chris Wilson was the one who quoted that line in reference to DotD and it is common to have titles mean things (ANB stood for the beginning of the story and the new beginning of Spyro; TEN referenced the central plot point of the Night of Eternal Darkness; DotD appears to reference one of the darkest hours in dragon history and the new age that likely came after it). So at least these titles do mean something.

Both titles of the game came from this quote:

The darkest hour comes before the dawn.

Thus, the original title was "The Darkest Hour" and the new, more positive title is "Dawn of the Dragon".

Maybe ... there can be so many resons why it was called Dawn of the Dragon.

More likely it is that Spyro proves himself to the others. He is rising from the darkness to become a new dawn, hence, Dawn of the Dragon.
