Star Wars Rip Off?

I saw this story up on Word, currently being written by my 13yos.

For those who have seen the scene in Star Wars A New Hope, with Han Solo in the bar with Obi Wan and Luke, this may seem a bit familiar? I thought it was a nice example of writing being inspired by movies, etc.

I asked my son if I could cut and paste some in my blog. Why? He asked. Because I thought it was nice it was modeled after Star Wars. No, he said, it was ripped off of Star Wars!

Whatever. Mom will take what she gets.
And this author does his research.. found this page

Here it is- ah... I can just hear the edge in Han, I mean Runner's voice... :)

“I’m looking for employment with the Separatists.” replied Runner. The Muun’s eyebrows rose.
“A bounty hunter?” he asked, eyeing Runner carefully.
“Yeah, and I’ve got some info as well… but it’s not without a price.” Runner waited for the Muun’s reply, hoping it would be positive.
“How much would this information cost the Banking Clan?”
“Would that be packaged with my services?”
“Yes.”
“10,000. All in advance.” The Muun didn’t even flinch. Runner wondered if it was a good sign.
“Are you aware… we could buy a whole ship with that?” asked the Muun, as cool as ever.
“Perfectly aware.” said Runner, wondering if the Muun would ever give him an answer.
“Very well. Out with it.” The Muun leaned forward, waiting for Runner’s information.
