Well what you guys need to realize is that the people who are drawing similarities between hidden fortress and SW are not only talking about plot structure and charecters. If you analyze the lighting, camera movement, editing etc.. in the films, there eerily similar, along with the two peasants (r2d2 and c3po)and the toshiro mifune charecter (hybrid of luke and han) I dont see how you can say that they AREN'T extremely similar. But, to people who don't study film,its really difficult to understand how these films are similar.
