If even heard (but never confirmed) that George Lucas based Darth Vader off of Hakaider from Kikaider!

Darth Vader's design was inspired by the samurai armor used in Hidden Fortress from Akira Kurosawa. George Lucas is a fan of Toho's toku movies like Battle from Outer Space though. I'm not sure if he has seen anything from Toei.

Robocop being inspired by Gavan was recently proven false. This blogger got in contact with some of the people who work on the movie and they mention that they never heard of Gavan when working on the movie. Read the full story here http://sidelongglancesofapigeonkicke...t-so-fast.html
