Newsrama.com reports that today’s episode of George Lucas’s animated TV series Star Wars: The Clone Wars borrows heavily from Seven Samurai.
The episode, titled “Defenders of Peace”, was written by Bill Canterbury.
Edit: As I note in a comment below, the episode in the end had very little to do with Seven Samurai.
The animated series is very lame as was the movie I walked out of 30 minutes into, due that ever annoying girl, that despite having no rank, smarts mouth off to all the senior Jedi, and ignores their orders,all to which is supposed to be cute and entertaining.
