@Aaltok True. You can see YAMATO influences in the STAR TREK movies, starting with THE WRATH OF KHAN.
-
@gnr2396 George Lucas also borrowed plot elements from a 1966 Japanese movie called THE MAGIC SERPENT. It's not that George "ripped off" YAMATO for any plot elements, but we was well aware of it in terms Production Design. The elements for STAR WARS came from many places other than just FLASH GORDON and Pulp Sci-Fi. STAR WARS is a mash-up, itself, which borrowed liberally from many sources.

@ianwestc Not entirely true. The genesis of the first YAMATO movie goes back earlier than STAR WARS, and is well documented. Visit the official Starblazers website and go to "Space Battleship Yamato: The Movie" for all of the details.

She was right. It does! LOL

Saito, for all his flaws, is a brave and noble soldier at his heart. Gotta respect that.

Yup, I knew that the original Yamato came well before Star Wars, but sadly it did not have very high ratings on its first run. In response to Star Wars, the Space Battleship Yamato movie was quickly cut together based on the Yamato 1 TV series.. and it outperformed Star Wars in Japan the same year. Based on that success, the "Farewell to Space Battleship Yamato" (Yamato 2) movie was created.

George Lucas acknowledges that the plot and characters in the 1958 Japanese film The Hidden Fortress were a major inspiration. there is an interview on youtube. look at my favorites (George Lucas talks about the influence of samurai movies on Star War, Darth Vader vs Japanese Police).

Mi Principessa su COSA?! She is not an idiot, I agree fully with the comment above. She was sneaky, crafy and a good villian to the show, but NOT stupid. She did have faults in her palns, but they weren't so stupid if they weren't really discovered by Zordar until Ep. 18...(At least I think that's how it was)
