hi there everyone this is DSrider here with another Toku rant today we are talking about Star Wars and how it could count as Tokusatsu.
Okay to start this off and say the most obvious thing, yes it could because Tokusatsu roughly translated into English means Special Effects something which Star Wars is not lacking in. With the explosions and costumes for the different creatures, the lasers and lightsabers.
Not to mention there are a lot of references to Samurai culture in Star Wars especially in the lightsaber duels and in the costume design for Darth Vader and the Jedi robes. George Lucas himself admitted that when taking inspiration for Star Wars he looked at old black and white Samurai movies.
There I've made my argument about how Star Wars could count as Tokusatsu and Next Week we are talking about how Inui Takumi is my favourite Kamen Rider
