Samurai Traces in Rogue One

Fun stuff!

From akiruno-life’s blog:

“The world was seized by a wave of excitement ahead of the release of The Force Awakens in 2015. In a certain respect, 2015 was ‘the Star Wars year.’ Here in Japan, there were a number of Star Wars-related events and programs, one of which was the Star Wars Newspaper put out by the Japanese sports newspaper company Nikkan Sports. Four issues of the paper were released that year, with each issue introducing information about the new film through Japan’s own unique format for sports news periodicals. Nikkan Sports brought the paper back for a special issue in 2016 ahead of the release of Rogue One, and it featured a number of interesting articles. One that really caught my attention was a piece that paired Rogue One characters with famous warriors/warlords from the Sengoku (Warring States) Period that shared similar personality traits. Although some of the comparisons are a little off, it is interesting to see how many similarities there actually are. Here is my translation of the article.”
