It’s obvious Lucas partly based Jedi on Kurosawa’s samurai but does he ever say so in interviews? Everything I’m finding is about Westerns.
There's this, he talks about Hidden Fortress' influence on Star Wars, C-3P0 and R2-D2 specifically, other things too https://youtu.be/TEJ6CzG9zVc

Maybe there's some indirect influence if Lucas was influenced by the cowboys of The Magnificent Seven which was inspired by The 7 Samurai
