What George Lucas will never admit to! For Prof. Begonia's AsianAm class, Tom and I created a side by side view of a certain space opera picture from the 1970s and a few classic samurai movies from Japan. This was a part of our senior project for the Asian American Studies minor.
The comment below was taken from the trivia section for "The Hidden Fortress" on the internet movie database.

In an interview for the Criterion collection DVD, George Lucas stated that while this film is a story about a princess and her protectors that this was not the primary element that he employed in Star Wars. He stated that he was more concerned with the way that Hidden Fortress is told through the eyes of two lesser characters. In Hidden Fortress it is the two thieves; in Star Wars it is C3PO and R2D2. In both films the comical interplay between the two characters is a major theme.
