I've always been fascinated with this era of Japanese history. I wonder how much those suits weigh and how they maintained agility while wearing them.
Thanks for posting the pictures.

Very cool thread and thank you for sharing this with us Dan. One can only wonder if Darth Vader's helmet was based on the helmet in the 6th picture down.  |

I don’t know anything but I’ve always just assumed that was the case. Especially as Lucas was heavily influenced by Amira Kurosawa. If he could’ve made 7 samurai in space he would’ve. |
