themes also came from the kurosawa film Hidden Fortress (as in Death Star) as well as 2 samurai characters that became the model for c3po and r2d2.
I read that the concept of 'the force' was from another movie i have .. a japanese anime film called 'the Lensman' or something like that where there are a race of people who share a collective conciousness throught these lenses on their hands.
