spacecadet Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 as always some one posts retarded coments about suicides on the article...... I stopped reading Japan Today years ago because of stuff like that. I have no idea who those people are that comment on the articles there; most of them seem to be westerners with a deep-seated hatred for Japan. 1 Link to comment

Kabutoni Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 Disregarding the utter fail that is Japan Today and its active users, the idea of making light-sabres out of the hand bars is just brilliant! 1 Link to comment

Except that everybody's going to want to swing them around, and you can't - it's going to be so frustrating! I didn't even think Star Wars was popular enough in Japan to do something like this. 1 Link to comment

The_Ghan Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 ... I didn't even think Star Wars was popular enough in Japan to do something like this. I've always thought the whole Jedi idea was "Samuri in Space"!!! Swords ... honour code ... wearing bathrobes with a sash .... Cheers The_Ghan Link to comment
KenS Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 I believe the influence of Kurosawa's films on Lucas was acknowledged by Lucas himself. The original Star Wars movie (now known as episode IV) was supposedly strongly based on Kurosawa's The Hidden Fortress. And then there's Darth Vader's helmet... Link to comment
bikkuri bahn Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 The word "jedi" comes from the category of samurai/feudal era dramas called "jidai geki". Link to comment
keitaro Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 the inspiration for starwars came from akira kurosawa movie http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Hidden_Fortress as such Link to comment
