    Really bad take. All stories borrow elements from other stories but this took it to a rediculous level.

    Saying that Star Wars stole from Dune because both Paul and Luke are names that appear in the Bible or because they both used electric binoculars is nuts. And that’s just a couple examples.

      Lucas himself said he took elements of Dune and incorporated it. Everyone is forgetting Kurosawa too.
