SAMURAI FILMS AND STAR WARS?!

How did Kurosawa influence George Lucas? What parts of the samurai film did Lucas incorporate into Star Wars? What is the most interesting thing that you learned in this video?

   He helped him make his space opera into a beloved and successful franchise. He got the Star Wars wipe transition from Kurosawa. Also, R2-D2 and C-3PO were inspired from Kurosawa's film, The Hidden Fortress. He also took a shot from Seven Samurai, where bandits walk over a hill, and placed it in the Star Wars prequels. I really enjoyed the history lesson about the war and how it had an impact on film making. For example, after the war everyone left the city and moved into the suburbs. Therefore, nobody went to the movies anymore.
