George Lucas himself has admitted that he borrowed heavily from Akira Kurosawa’s 1958 Japanese film The Hidden Fortress for Star Wars. At the recommendation of fellow director John Milius, Lucas discovered Kurosawa’s Samurai films and fell in love with them. According to The Secret History of Star Wars, the original script for A New Hope was very similar to The Hidden Fortress from 1978 and much of it was reused in The Phantom Menace.
