[QUOTE="ODB, post: 430069, member: 2079"] Star Wars isn't really a remake of Hidden Fortress at all, there are many differences in characters, plot and even tone. Its also no obscure fact that Lucas has been heavily influenced by Kurosawa, so much so that Lucas along with Coppola convinced 20th Century Fox to finance Kagemusha and distribute it internationally. Yes Lucas borrowed many directorial and cinematographic traits from Kurosawa, but the characters are alamangations of many ideas from many cultures and lets not forget the plot was put through several people and he heavily used Ralph Mcquarrie to visual his ambitions. THe Hidden Fortress is a starting point that was then fleshed out with elements from many, many cultures, films and literature. This is probably why it was so popular and so many people can identify with it in some way. [/QUOTE]
