Akira Kurosawa's Influence On Star Wars (1977)

For our not at all subtly teased bonus episode, we’ve decided to shake up the formula and record a full length commentary to the original Star Wars. As much as possible, we discuss real-time comparisons and allusions to Kurosawa’s work in this film and throughout the franchise. If you’ve ever wanted to simulate watching a movie with Sanshiro’s Boys, feel free to pull up the cut of the film available on Disney+ by syncing the film with the timecode 00:04:30. Listen here: https://linktr.ee/sanshirosboys
