FX's smash hit adaptation of the James Clavell novel has a surprising, fascinating link to the galaxy far, far away.
Shōgun is perhaps about as far away from science fiction as you can get. The incredible FX series is about examining the political power plays of 17th century Japan, and the cross of cultures as other nations begin finding their way to the East. But given Star Wars ’ own long relationship with Japanese media and culture, it’s perhaps a little fitting that this time it’s the one providing the influence.
” Marks is referring to the infamously edited-and-re-edited scene from A New Hope, where the hapless bounty hunter Greedo confronts Han Solo in the Cantina after he’s just secured his mission with Luke and Obi-Wan. It’s one of the rare moments in the film series we actually get subtitled, alien dialogue—but the retro, yet clear font apparently gave Shōgun exactly what it needed.
