They could have done it as a film way back when but it was way too much a ripoff of Hidden Fortress.
Kurosawa as a director was on an entirely different plain as a director than the hack Lucas was/ is.
Eh, Kurosawa got away with ripping off Dashiel Hammet's "Red Harvest" to make "Yojimbo," so I think it would have been fine.
