STAR WARS SPOILERS: What of the little 'rashomon' in The Last Jedi?

When Luke and Ren recall their penultimate confrontation, I was pleasantly surprised to spot a rashomon (also, am I the only one who uses this as a noun?). Was anyone else wondering if this was merely a utilization of a pretty reliable trope, or if it was in fact a totally deliberate nod to Kurosawa, who George Lucas has in the past credited as a huge inspiration for the original Star Wars (the bumbling samurai from Hidden Fortress laying the groundwork for C3PO and R2D2)?
