Samurai with lightsabers. The helmet of Darth Vader was derived from them.

Yup. And part of the story plot line and some of the characters for the first film were derived from/inspired by Akira Kurosawa's The Hidden Fortress. When the film critics back in the day equated C3PO and R2D2 to Laurel and Hardy, I always smiled as I knew they were far more of the two greedy Ashigaru from Hidden Fortress than Stan and Ollie…evil grin

As for these figures, now I have an excuse to finish mine up and post some photos… and soon.evil grin
