Kurosawa's Star Wars

This is awesome on soooooo many levels:

SILLOF's WORKSHOP: featuring the custom figures and dioramas of sillof

If only. Although if Toshiro Mifune was Obi-Wan, I think the fight with Vader may have ended differently....

OH YEAH!!! that fake writeup at the end of the AMAZING Photos is worth reading, too!

I am sooooo loving this!!!

Wonderful iinterpretation and even more impressive custom work. Wow!

[Gorn Captain]

Fantastic.
If they released these figures, I'd buy them immediately.

And true, Lucas borrowed heavily from Kurosawa.
He should produce them as a tribute....

now that's a lot of quality time well spent.

[Goblin19]

I'd buy those in a heartbeat.

Watch Kurosawa's "The Hidden Fortress" which Lucas has always admited was a major influense on the original Star Wars film. It's also a great movie in it's own right.

I should have gone to the site first. Those customs are amazing! Too bad a fire prevented the film from being completed.

I wonder....
If the Japanese were to actually make this film, would Lucas sue them, even though he based SW partially on Kurosawa's film to begin with?

[Sandman9580]

Those are brilliant!

Well... knowing Luca$.

It'd depend, I think, on whether it was a direct copy beat for beat...
or at least had some new twist on it as Lucas performed on STAR WARS.

I dunno. He didn't sue over "Message From Space."

I just discovered this site.....in a word.....wow! His imagination and knowledge of these time periods is entertaining and fun. Too bad he doesn't sell any of his work!
