Samurai vs. Ninja!? Awhile ago I heard something about the Jedi and Sith being based on Samurai and Ninja.
Could anyone inform me on this matter?
Raiden no Kishi wrote:It seems likely, since the Jedi are more of a "noble" class and the Sith love their dirty tricks (Darth Maul and his Infiltrator, probe droids, and speeder bike, etc). Although Darth Vader looks very much like a space samurai (especially the helmet - very Japanese, almost anime-ish if you ask this one)
The more I think about the Force-users in Star Wars, the more I am reminded of samurai-era Japan. Palpatine seems almost like an intergalactic Nobunaga Oda to me. But I don't know a ton about Japanese history, so I could be off a bunch.
