>>219279278To quote Bruce Dickinson, Frank Herbert was a cunt.
>>219279278He's right. Star Wars is cultural poison.
>dude like *hits spice* what if everyone was disingenuous about everything and it was all fake and gayBravo Frank.
>man who only watched dune>hmm i getting dune vibes from this movie
>>219279278Then why didnt he sure Lucas? When you are sure that someone ripped you off, you sue. But if you are just talking shit and have doubts you will win a court case because your arguement is weak....well, that sounds like what happened here.
>>219279278>Thomas Lawrence after reading Dune "Herbert plagiarized Seven Pillars of Wisdom"
>>219279278I was rrrrraping Frank Herbert, raping like this.
>Some of the action in the book-and in the movie-takes place on a sandy, desolate planet inhabited by nomadic scavengers who are pursued by enormous sand creatures.>enormous sand creaturesWas there anything like it in Star Wars, especially in the first edition??? Did he just make shit up?
>>219279507You can see this skeleton
>>219279597And where is "pursuing" scene?
>>219279278>something gets extremely popular>has-beens try to sue with no basismany such casesyou didn't invent deserts, big dog
>>219280028In 1977 Herbert was more famous than Lucas
It's pretty undeniable that Star Wars lifts a bunch of ideas from Dune. The Bene Jedi science-magic antichrist stuff and the emperor that sees the future for instance.Regarding 'plagiarism' i respect artists like Michael Moorcock who is too antagonistic towards copyright to get his panties in a bunch over the witcher ripping him off.
>>219279278More people plagiarized star wars than duneIt's a fact
>>219280337And that's a good thing.
>*tastes sand*>"It's chicken salt!"
>>219279278Frank also ripped off another book while writing Dune.
>>219279278Dune page 1:>The main character opened his eyes. He had a dream where he was a prophet and led the sand people to victory. Actually it wasn't a dream. It was the truth and it is going to happen in the next 1,000 pages. Yes this is how the book ends, there is no tension, I'm literally telling you this kid is going to be the king of sand people and he won't die because he is already having prophetic visions of shit I'm gonna write about in 900 pages time.truly dogshit author.

>>219280368what book
>>219280538Duuune
>>219280538
>>219281026>women flung down their children as living missilesI want this adapted to the big screen
Lesley Blanch should have sued Frank Herbert for plagiarismHe copied entire phrases from her book
>>219281026>I know how to use a dagger, I was born in the Caucasus
>>219280391wait until you read the new testament of the bible bro, it's even hackier
>>219279288Bruce Dickinson is a faggot and Iron Maiden sucks
>>219279278Star Wars plagiarized a lot more than just Dune.Like, the fucking bible, world history, Kurosawa's stuff, Lord of the Rings, arguably even Lucas's own earlier shit. But really, who cares?
>>219282446Shut up, transvestite
>>219282446Bruce Dickinson sucks but iron maidens album iron maiden, the one without Bruce Dickinson, is amazing.
>>219282668Nothing in all of history will ever be fully original
>>219282741True. I guess it comes down to whether you respect and honour your sources or shit on them instead.
