Who cares? Yes George Lucas took inspiration from a bunch of shit. Why don't you add Flash Gordon to the list if we're going to go with the plagiarism route.
Star Wars is literal steaming garbage glorified by boomers who would swallow Disney's licensed Han Solo diarrhea if given the chance Literary speaking Dune is more or less the same
>Star Wars is literal steaming garbage True >Dune is more or less the same I don't think so, it's way better. And Villeneuve did justice to it on the screen
Aaron Sullivan
>George Lucas took inspiration from a bunch of shit True, but the extent Tatooine was based on Arrakis is just too much imo Fuck that fat fraud
Brayden Murphy
>Literary speaking Dune is more or less the same You have never read the books.
Nathan Johnson
>Villeneuve did justice to it on the screen Terrible take
why? come on now, Lynch was terrible and no amount of fan edits can make that right
Jeremiah Hill
This has to be bait.
Juan King
No, it’s not a Sandworm it’s a ….. Sarlacc, yeah a Sarlacc totally different. God Lucas is a fucking stealing hack.
Anthony Taylor
>the extent Tatooine was based on Arrakis is just too much imo Tatooine and Arrakis aren't meaningfully similar at all beyond the "desert planet" motif. And the role they play in the respective stories is wildly different.
Nathaniel Kelly
Just going to ignore all the other points the op made? Come on, it’s well fucking known he stole most of this shit from Dune. I like Star Wars too but it’s obvious.
Dominic Barnes
I don't think Lucas ever kept his inspirations a secret. SW was always a continuation of his childhood pulp sci-fi shows. And the rest of the team cobbled up inspiration from what they loved.
Evan Sullivan
In what way is this different than the original?
Wyatt Bennett
I hate to tell you this but pretty much every idea in Dune and in Star Wars came from something preceding both. Edgar Rice Burroughs + WWII movies + comic books = 99.9% of Dune and Star Wars.
Parker Brooks
>it’s well fucking known he stole most of this shit from Dune Yeah because nobody had ever heard of the concept of a miraculous Messiah before Dune.
Eli Evans
Yep. Dune and Star Wars both ripped off the Bible. The Star Wars OT is basically just the story of David in spaaaaace with a few Jesus tidbits thrown in.
Landon Jenkins
>inspirations Can you explain to me how it’s not plagiarism?
>Can you explain to me how it’s not plagiarism? Plagiarism is direct copying, while perhaps changing trivial things only. Star Wars is not similar enough to Dune to be plagiarism.
Hunter Miller
George took from Barsoom not boring Dune.
Nathan Bennett
100% correct.
Zachary Myers
Dune doesn’t look like Barsoom the way Star Wars looks like Dune buddy.
Grayson Ward
And these pictures?
David Ross
>I’m going to try very hard not to sue
What's his case going to be? That you can't write anything about a desert planet?
Herbert wasn't the first scifi writer to write about space empires or desert planets or telepathy or telekinesis or powers of prophecy.
I mean for fucks sake Dune is just Lawrence of Arabia in space so I don't see how Herbert is in a position to sue anyone.
>yes, I stole everything and can't create art something that only a hack does
Benjamin Sanchez
you don't even know that half of it. I've known both these IPs for 30 years and I still fucking keep slapping my head because I've noticed another one >Geidi prime >hmm how do you say that? Jedi prime? Gaydy? i like that first one
Grayson Murphy
Oh shut up. it goes John Carter, Buck Rodgers, Flash Gordon, Luke Skywalker.
It's called the truth, Dune should of been an ecology paper. Not 10 billion words just to get to "Don't trust your leaders"
Logan Edwards
spot on kek
Parker Russell
>should of Stopped reading right there, fucking amerimutts..
Hudson Perez
I hate sw, but holy shit Epic midwit moment
Carson Rodriguez
See this is why books shouldn't be adapted. Before Apple announced foundation, Yea Forumseddit didn't even know it existed. Dune used to be considered too esoteric till villy made his capeshit version of it. Now you have retarded idiots like OP with his shitty analogies. I bet when wheel of time and discworld are adapted then this OP will make a thread about how Game of Thrones is just "LOTR+WOT+a bit of discworld"
Caleb Allen
wrong I have read both Foundation and Dune a long time ago And I hate how lazy and shallow SW is compared to these
Adam Cox
plus Apple's version has nothing to do with how I feel, that's the worst piece of crap I've seen in years
Nathaniel Lopez
>Apples version You mean Foundation of a Mad Black Woman?
Eli Lopez
Adds in even more kino scenes that give context to some of the more rushed story points. Great ending to Thurfir's character as well Seething Villeneuve midwit, Lynch's version (the lost 4 hour one) was adored by Herbert and he even enjoyed the theatrical cut. This edit is the closest thing we have to Lynch's unfiltered opus.
Connor Stewart
Edgar Rice Burroughs described the "Sith" and the "Banths," two different kinds of Barsoomian animals. So what?
Nolan Davis
...
Jacob Perez
don't even bring it up, I still feel like throwing up when I think about it
Juan Roberts
GRRM is more original that Lucas. I mean, they're both sellout fat fucks, but at least George based his books off historical england, war of the roses, that type of stuff. Things that are interesing but you need to actually work to sell it as entertaiment for anyone other that history nerds. Lucas just fucking copied shit from pop fiction that was already popular.
Nathan Powell
Tell me what you like and I'll tell you from what it was copied from.
Chase White
All fantasy, all fiction, and ultimately all stories are derivative. There is nothing new under the sun.
The variations are what matter, not the similarities.
Motherfucker I know what the hero’s journey is. You think you’re the only guy that took high school literature? It’s stealing, by your reasoning I could copy the Mona Lisa and it’s okay because there are lots of paintings of women.
Jaxson Jones
Dune is boring trash. Both the books und the 2 movies.
Brandon Nguyen
Star Wars is better and thus superior to those works.
