In fact, she additionally appeared to Akira Kurosawa’s work.
Chow defined, “I really like Kurosawa, too. There’s such a powerful correlation for me between the Jedi and the Ronin – significantly on this interval the place all of the Jedi are being hunted. I used to be actually what you do if you happen to’re the final samurai. You’re greater than only a warrior. There’s additionally an moral code that goes together with it, in a world that’s vastly modified. That basically had a fairly large impact on what we have been attempting to do.”
Obi-Wan Kenobi is about 10 years after the dramatic occasions of Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith, “the place Kenobi confronted his best defeat, the downfall and corruption of his finest buddy and Jedi apprentice, Anakin Skywalker, turned evil Sith Lord, Darth Vader.”
