Samurai Wars

http://www.sillof.com/C-samuraiwars.htm

Sillof's Workshop has created action figures based on the idea that in 1955  Akira Kurosawa attempted to film an epic movie about a small band fighting against a dark lord in feudal Japan.

It's really interesting how little the character designs have to be changed. I particularly love Obu Wankabe (Played by Toshiro Mifune of course)

Saving this to show the spawn! Leia with the 'panda ears' hairdo is great!

I thought she looked a little scary.

Considering the connotations of white in Japanese cultural parlance, she is kinda scary. She did look a tad psycho.

Han Solo's topknot is a HOOT!

Yes! I would have loved to have seen that in the original.
