They were wrong in the 70s then. Lucas was/is a big Akira Kurosawa fan. Everybody should be a fan of Akira Kurosawa, actually. So SW is closer to a Ronin Samurai Sci-Fi Fantasy. Just look at how everybody dresses in SW. Nearly all of it is inspired by traditional Japanese clothing. Vader's ****ing helmet only makes sense if you see it in that light.
