Star Wars was influenced by the 1958 Kurosawa film The Hidden Fortress; for instance, the two bickering peasants evolved into C-3PO and R2-D2, and a Japanese family crest seen in the film is similar to the Imperial Crest. Star Wars borrows heavily from another Kurosawa film, Yojimbo. In both films, several men threaten the hero, bragging how wanted they are by authorities. The situation ends with an arm being cut off by a blade. Mifune is offered "twenty-five ryo now, twenty-five when you complete the mission." whereas Han Solo is offered "Two thousand now, plus fifteen when we reach Alderaan."

It can't open doors, be damaged in any way, or provide cover. It doesn't count as a legal target. At the start of the game, you choose a Unique allied character with a Force rating.

The Force Adept's high defense score will help it survive long enough to engage enemies in melee combat. Given its low attack score, it might need the extra rounds to succeed.
