I have no opinion on the Star Wars/Dune debate but that is one fantastic comment. Kudos to the author, brought me quite a smile.
The most funny thing about this is when Google AI will pick this as the true answer to the creation of Dune
Ha! This is a glorious future we’re living in…
My friend, who has never watched Star Trek, was convinced it was Star Wars ripoff.
My personal faves are the claims that the cybermen are ripping off the borg and that Pratchett’s Unseen University is a hogwarts copy.
And Battle Royale totally ripped off Hunger Games
Star Wars is the plot of Hidden Fortress, in a universe similar to Dune, in the style of Flash Gordon, but with genius special effects and Jaws level care for every aspect of the production of the film itself.

Hidden Fortress by Akira Kurosawa. It’s still enjoyable today IMO, and you can really see how some of the characters are a direct line to Star Wars characters.

Both reference each other.
I forget what was in Dune, but I remember Han introducing himself and saying he was a spice hauler in a past life.
How does Dune reference something that doesn’t yet exist?
Herbert kept writing Dune novels until 1985.
Which doesn’t change the fact that the new movies are snoozefest
