Hero's Journey and Star Wars

Kurosawa influenced George Lucas by making the samurai film a worldwide phenomenon. Without Kurosawa creating these legendary samurai films, Lucas would never have the idea of putting versions of his characters in space. One thing that Lucas incorporated into Star Wars from Kurosawa was his character dynamics. The characters C-3PO and R2-D2 and direct inspirations of 2 peasant characters from one of Kurosawa's films. The thing that I found most interesting about this video was how Lucas came up with the name for the Jedi, taking it from the Japanese word Jidai. Without the inspiration of samurai films, Lucas would have never had the idea to create Star Wars.
