Kevin Rubio is the father of the Star Wars Fan Film and director of TROOPS, creator of Tag and Bink, as well as writer for The Clone Wars. He's really done it all. Diving into his long career, we discuss the inspiration behind TROOPS, just how involved George Lucas was in The Clone Wars and, of course, his reaction to Tag and Bink becoming canon in Solo. Definitely follow Kevin on Twitter, @TheKevinRubio, and join me at tweeting at Marvel to publish the Tag and Bink sequels.

This week, we're going back to the Sengoku period to explore how The Hidden Fortress influenced Star Wars! We start this week's episode by going back to the beginnings of George Lucas' love affair with Akira Kurosawa (01:37), and explaining what Kurosawa was motivated by when he made The Hidden Fortress (02:39).Then we break down the specific ways The Hidden Fortress helped to shape Star Wars, from the influence of Tahei and Matashichi on C-3PO and R2-D2 (06:00), to the influence of General Rokurota Makabe and General Hyoe Tadokoro on Obi-Wan Kenobi and Darth Vader (11:29), and the influence of Princess Yuki on Princess Leia, Padme Amidala and Rey (20:45)! Finally, we take a look at the early Star Wars treatments that bore a much closer resemblance to The Hidden Fortress (26:52), and the influences Akira Kurosawa drew on himself when he made The Hidden Fortress (31:19)!
