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.
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
Lol the real plagiarism is GW / Warhammer 40k ripping off Dune
And literally everything else and cramming it into one universe
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.
The music tends to be left off lists like this but without that fabulous score and the genius of John Williams and the London Symphony Orchestra, Star Wars would not have had the same emotional impact.
