Star Wars is a knockoff of Dune even Frank Herbert thought it was ripping off many things. He said that if George Lucas didn’t rip him off then he at least owed him dinner for all the coincidences
I don’t have a full list but Frank Herbert had once said there was 16 coincidences between the two stories. One or two is a random chance, 16 is plagiaristic.
Well when you read the last book and learn about Miles Teg you will see the spice wizard. The laser swords though wouldn’t happen. When a laser intersects with a shield then a giant atomic explosion happens.

Oh boy, just wait until he sees what Games Workshop did.
He is dead, but his son and another “author” wrote a large amount of sequels, prequels, and spinoffs with the “of Dune” added on to sell hot trash.
That is directly ripping off his ideas unlike anything Games Workshop could ever do.
They shat on his ideas lol
But you can’t say they ripped off his ideas, as the books are technically cannon and direct sequels. Sadly…
Apparently based on notes Frank left, for all we know his “notes” could have been:
1.) Write more Dune books. 2.) profit.
If anything, Star Wars is a rip off of “The Hidden Fortress”. I’m not super knowledgeable about Dune, what parts did George take?

Why of course - I love when the space wizards of Dune start doing a bunch of flips while waving around their glowing blades made of pure light.

Nah, of Valerian & Laureline. Or both.
