edited with whirlwinding information, and now i'm out for some boba!
star wars fans and viewers have compared the film trilogy to akira kurosawa's [url=http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0051808/][i]the hidden fortress[/i][/url]. george lucas stated in a dvd interview that kurosawa's film inspired him to create a story about a princess and her protectors - the hidden fortress also has character parallels with two thieves (star war's equivalents c3po and r2d2)
the concept of the force is in vein with a lot of taoist, buddhist and hinduism beliefs, and names of the jedi knights (qui gon jinn, obi wan kenobi meaning "doggy", "hair lengthen", "kimono wrap" etc.) are derived from chinese or japanese consonants.
[url=http://www.goldenarmor.com/robes/robes1.htm]the costume of the jedi (robes)[/url] is similar to the japanese kimono, the lightsabers being equivalent to samurai swords. more similarities: [url=http://www.rpgamer.com/games/other/pc/swonline/art/swonline007.jpg]darth vader's helmet/costume[/url], [url=http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v104/Anuma/samuraihelmet.jpg]samurai helmet/costume[/url] and the [url=http://www.warelics.com/images/SStransblackL.jpg]nazi helmet[/url] (which the imperial guards also adorn)
anakin could be extracted from the word 'akunin' 悪人 (evil guy), or the [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sanskrit]sanskrit[/url] word for "warrior" - but according to star wars geeks board, anakin was derived from "anakim", a race of giants referred to in the bible that george lucas once heard about in a lecture.
hinduism references/sanskrit (copy + paste ;_; thank you jedi council forums):
Sanskrit songs of Star Wars (both from Episode One: The Phantom Menace)
* "Qui-Gon's Funeral" ("Death's Long Sweet Sleep")
Madhurah swehpna, go rahdomah swehpna.
Madhurah swehpna, go rahdomah swehpna,
morittioo, madhurah, swehpna.
the lyrics mean:
Madhura = sweet Svapnya = sleep, dream
Go = go Ra = acquire
Dama = self-control Mari = death
Tu = overcome
* Pooja Naberrie: Padme's niece (Luke and Leia's cousin) who later becomes an Imperial senator (EU/SWG). Pooja roughly means "worship". Pooja appeared as a young child in one of the cut scenes from Episode II where Anakin met Padme's family.
