Whether you're heading to Tokyo or keeping up with Star WarsCelebration Japan from home, watching some of the Kurosawa films that inspired George Lucas and countless other creators will give you a better appreciation for a galaxy far, far away.

"It's hard to truly appreciate Kurosawa's true genius until you've seen several of his films and then been able to watch other films at the same time and understand his visual style," Lucas said. “I think he belongs to a generation of directors who were still influenced by silent films. Visual graphics and framing, just the quality of the images, go a long way in telling a story and creating a mood. You won't find many directors who handle this medium as easily as Kurosawa."
