While it is well known that Japanese films (and foreign language films in general) influenced Star Wars, George Lucas drew upon these films in one usual way. While studying Japanese films at USC, Lucas felt that not knowing Japanese history and customs made them more interesting because the filmmakers didn't feel the need to explain everything. Lucas liked the idea of creating a movie with a truly "alien" culture where one could understand the broad strokes of the narrative without having to know exactly what was going on.
