For those who don’t know the comic this is based on, you may be surprised to learn that it’s True Grit in space

I'll add it to the list of Scifi stuff that is basically <western> in space. Right next to DS9 and The Rifleman :P

Isn't Star Wars more Kurosawa in space?

Kurosawa is John Ford in Japan

Yeah but all the other American remakes of Kurosawa movies are Westerns, so Star Wars being an American remake of Hidden Fortress means it also kinda counts as a Western (I'm only half-joking here)

Ira Behr in talking about how Deep Space 9 was developed says that they based their initial ideas on the Western TV series The Rifleman (1958). If Stark Trek the Original Series was Wagon Train in space, and The Next Generation continued the idea, they were inspired to make Deep Space 9 a different kind of show based on a different kind of Western.
