In fact this element inspired many sci-fi films and other interesting action films. The famous ones are Terminator, Back to The Future and the recent Butterfly Effect.
So coincidentally, SW had this element too...just i didn't realise.
-quote from wikipedia.In Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith, Anakin Skywalker sees a premonition of his wife Padmé's death during childbirth. This incites him to try to keep her alive, which eventually results in him seeking the Dark Side. This in turn causes Padmé to lose her will to live, and she dies in childbirth as was foreseen.
