Starred in most of
Kurosawa's films,
notably
Yojimbo,
The Seven Samurai,
and
The Hidden Fortress (a main inspiriation for
Star Wars. Plot summary : a general
Toshiro Mifune helps rescue a princess with the help of two buffoonish knaves.)
Did not combine the best parts of Clint Eastwood and Sir Alec Guinness. Actually, Eastwood studied Mifune!.
