7 0 ReplyYeah, the rebels are supposed to be the Viet Cong... There is also a whole shitload of world war II imagery yeah
7 1 ReplyEh, the source for much of the pacing and plot arcs is taken directly from Akira Kurosawa's "Hidden Fortress" and that predates the Vietnam War by quite a bit. But sure, everything made at the time was of course influenced by the Vietnam War. But the Rebels being Viet Cong is a reach of galactic proportions.
