Är riddarna av Ren en referens till Seven Samurai?

George Lucas är känt för att vara ett fan av Kurosawas arbete och har intygat sitt inflytande på Star Wars - i synnerhet påverkan av Den dolda fästningen . Kurosawa-referenser har skett i andra delar av Star Wars också.

Jag tittade på den här bilden av riddarna av Ren från Reys vision i The Force Awakens :

Förmodligen.

I Star Wars: The Force Awakens Presskonferens , Lawrence Kasdan, medförfattare av Force Awakens , medgav att Kurosawa är en av hans mest inflytelserika filmskapare:

Mindy Kailing: Is there any movie that you look to or thought about when you were writing this one?

Lawrence Kasdan: Oh yeah. All the movies of Akira Kurosawa have influenced me throughout my career; that's because he was the Shakespeare of cinema: he did comedy, he did action films, he did Shakespearean drama, and all of life is contained in each one of his films. Seven Samurai may be the greatest film ever made, it's... you know, it's a personal drama, it's an action picture. So when J.J. and I were working, we kept referring to that, and then we would talk about the great American movies that we loved and things that had influenced the first Star Wars, which is Howard Hawks, and John Ford, and... you know, all the... Flash Gordon. Because when George [Lucas] made A New Hope, we was influenced very much by Kurosawa and by Flash Gordon and by Wizard of Oz [...]
