    Hidden Fortress by Akira Kurosawa. It’s still enjoyable today IMO, and you can really see how some of the characters are a direct line to Star Wars characters.

      Now this information makes “Star Wars Visions: Ronin” look like the the “back to the roots” material.

      It also partially explains the Western feeling to Star Wars. Lots of Kurisawa films were made into Westerns.

      Seven Samurai became the Magnificent Seven (and Bug’s Life!). Yojimbo and Sanjuro became A Fistful of Dollars and A Few Dollars More.
