Star Wars Borrowing from Ethnography

Filmdom has been doing this for years. In 'Star Trek:The Next Generation', you have the Firangi, obviouly a play on the Indopersian sword, the Jem Hadar, from the word representing an Indian feudal lord, Xena-Mystic Warrior used a big chakram, etc, etc. I'm not offended by it and just view it as a form of respect.

And the bandoleer for the Tuscan warrior in the film is a Swedish model 1910

I wonder did they really chop up a Fijian club? as it looks quiet good

Regards,

Ken
