May 3: “Not Quite Star Wars.” Two movies similar to, but not quite Star Wars: The Humanoid/L’umanoide (Aldo Lado, 1979), an Italian B-movie about an evil warlord who plots to take over the planet Metropolis with the help of a mad scientist; and The Hidden Fortress (Akira Kurosawa, 1958), about a pair of bickering peasants in feudal Japan who are tricked into helping a general and a princess escape across enemy lines, a major inspiration for Star Wars: A New Hope.
