Whether you're heading to Tokyo or keeping up with Star Wars Celebration 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.
Lucas first became aware of Kurosawa's work while attending film school at the University of Southern California. In an interview with the Criterion Collection, he spoke about the director's influence. "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."
Here are five Kurosawa films that inspired Lucas and the modern generation of Star Wars creators.
