One hundred to four hundred billion stars in this galaxy known as the Milky Way (estimates vary...understandably).
And two hundred trillion (give or take a few million) other galaxies in the known universe.
On this one planet tens of thousands (reasonably, a few hundred thousand), writers of speculative fiction have written stories about possibilities regarding the planets that revolve around the billions and billions of stars that comprise this galaxy...and some of those writers have probably written a few about the planets that revolve around the countless stars in the other two hundred trillion galaxies.
Rehash of a rehash of a rehash...getting difficult to come up with anything that can be remotely considered original.
Unless of course you change the ethnicity and gender of the major players (Somewhere in Hollywood ears are starting to prick up...)
