minus-squareMycatiskai@lemmy.calinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·7 months agoStar 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
minus-squareDavid_Eight@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·7 months agoIf anything, Star Wars is a rip off of “The Hidden Fortress”. I’m not super knowledgeable about Dune, what parts did George take?
minus-squareSanctus@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·7 months agoOh boy, just wait until he sees what Games Workshop did.
minus-squareMycatiskai@lemmy.calinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·7 months agoHe 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.
