PhoenixFuego Posted June 3, 2008 Report Posted June 3, 2008 This is just a fun theory topic that I decided to start just for the fun of it I thought up this thoery by putting together Episode III and ...(drumroll) the Last Samurai! Your probably wondering "What does a movie that has Tom Cruise as a ancient Japanese warrior have to do with Star Wars?" Well, I'll tell you. A long time ago, in a galaxy a few hundred thousand miles away... In the 1800s in the now westernized Japan, there were samurai. These samurai were not happy samurai. They had been striped of their rights, reputations, and their swords. After trying to persuade the Emperor of Japan, they decided to attack the Imperial army full of Japanese stormtroopers...okay they weren't stormtroopers So after the battle, there was not one samurai left alive (except for Tom Cruise, typical <_< ) This is the plot to the Last Samurai Starting to see the resemblence, the extinction of the samurai-the extinction of the jedi... I'm sure you guys know the plot to Episode III well enough to make some connections This is what I have so far, please add to the theory or add comments. Remember, this is just opinion and for fun P.S. I am not saying that Star Wars was based off of the Las Samurai
journeymanprotector Posted June 3, 2008 Report Posted June 3, 2008 I can say I haven't heard that one before Star Wars is partly based on the Japanese film 'The Hidden Fortress', which has many of the plot elements of Star Wars, particularly in early drafts. I've always felt The Last Samurai was based on Dances With Wolves. A guy with no future travels to a foreign land, presumably to fight the local indigenous people, who are hostile, and ultimately joins them, learns their ways and fights against the people he once served Phil

SuperTrooper Posted June 3, 2008 Report Posted June 3, 2008 I'm closing this thread on the basis that the information is incorrect, and it serves no purpose that cluttering the forum.
