You’re probably aware that Star Wars was the product of George Lucas’ mind and all the swashbuckling space adventures, samurai movies, and general pulp he loved to watch as a kid. Well now you can see how those influences directly… well… influenced Star Wars with this awesome video.

Thanks to [Badass Digest](http://badassdigest.com/2014/05/31/see-the-source-of-star-wars) for bringing this to our attention. Heads up, this video is feature lengthed, but it’s totally worth the watch.
