Samurai Star Wars Prints offer a new way to see the classic

September 27th, 2010By Category: Culture

Akira Kurosawa and Japanese cinema were a huge influence on a young George Lucas as he put together what became Star Wars – but what would happen if that influence traveled back the other way?

Spoke Art has imagined just that, producing a great range of traditional Japanese woodblock prints that turn Chewy into an oni and Boba Fett into a green-clad samurai.

Check the spoke site for the full collection, if you are interested, prices start at just $15.
