Not many know that... Akira Kurosawa fan... Star Wars was based on Hidden Fortress... Magnificent Seven based on Seven Samurai.

The Seven Samurai is one of my favorite movies, and Akira Kurosawa has made some magnificent films!

It's hard to look at The Magnificent Seven the same after you watch the Seven Samurai. I have a DVD of The Magnificent Seven that includes 'extra content' where the actors talk about emulating the roles they repurposed from the Seven Samurai a bit. James Colburn in particular was pleased with the role he was asked to 'morph'.

James Colburn. They don't make them like that anymore!

Colburn... One of my favs of his was Great Scout & Cathouse Thursday!

Akira's Dreams was just amazing... his color contrasts, peach orchard blossoms blooming... even in RAN, black sand w/ the intense colored flags, contrasts...

Is it just me or do the storm troopers look like they are wearing giant 'Breath Rite' strips?

Agreed! Lacking Vader's telepathic abilities, I suspect they all got together and decided to wear these huge, obvious strips as a suggestion to help their friend with his lifelong respiratory problem.
