Not really, as to my mind it doesn't follow the Seven Samurai formula (at least not to the same degree as the ones I featured).

Yeah, the STAR WARS references are to Kurosawa's THE HIDDEN FORTRESS, which not many Americans have seen compared to SEVEN SAMURAI or RASHOMON.

A new Theme Week starts next Monday and is all about summer camp. Mine will be posted on Wednesday. See if you can guess what it'll be from this quote:
"We've got to get a hold of ourselves. It's only bears and tigers out there. And they're as frightened of us as we are of them."
Mutant Summer Camp Week (https://mutantreviewersmovies.com/2023/07/17/welcome-to-mutant-summer-camp/) has begun.
