Epic based in part on his “The Hidden Fortress” :
STAR WARS
“The Hidden Fortress” is a 1958 Japanese adventure film co-written and directed by Akira Kurosawa. The main characters are two peasants escorting a man and a woman across enemy lines. The peasants do not realize that the man is a general, and the woman a princess. George Lucas tells us that he was heavily influenced by “The Hidden Fortress” when he wrote his epic movie “Star Wars”. Kurosawa’s two peasants map into the C-3PO and R2-D2 characters in “Star Wars”, and Leia is the princess in disguise.

Author with given name nelle from Monroeville, Alabama.
Nelle Harper Lee was an author from Monroeville, Alabama. For many years, Lee had only one published novel to her name, i.e. “To Kill a Mockingbird”. That contribution to the world of literature was enough to earn her the Presidential Medal of Freedom and a Pulitzer Prize. Harper Lee was a close friend of fellow author Truman Capote who was the inspiration for the character named “Dill” in her novel. Lee was all over the news in 2015 as she had published a second novel, titled “Go Set a Watchman”. The experts seem to be agreeing that “Go Set a Watchman” is actually the first draft of “To Kill a Mockingbird”. Lee passed away less than a year after “Go Set a Watchman” hit the stores.
