Yeah,
The Twilight Zone ripped off a lot of leftover props, costumes, robots, and yes - the C-57D starcruiser from
Forbidden Planet.
TZ's "On Thursday We Leave For Home" episode (below) used recycled Forbidden Planet uniforms
But so did Lost In Space, as shown here:
Even props from 2001: A Space Odyssey got recycled and used as background junk in a Star Wars movie, as with this space pod:

Yep, here comes another fictional starship. This one is known by the name Liberty 1 or Icarus. Like the Jupiter II, it was bound for Alpha Centauri but never made it.

Purely by accident I happened to stumble
upon this image of the "Death Star" from the well-known
franchise. That puppy is quite a bit more sized that I

for my comfort!

Come on!
That's like a fisherman with a 12" trout holding it out at arm's length in front of him to make it seem huge in comparison to himself.
