Could Dune be the next Star Wars?
Could Dune be the next Star Wars? Is Dune part of Star Wars? To give you the short answer, no. Dune is a totally separate story from Star Wars and is not related to the Disney franchise whatsoever — even though Star Wars alum Oscar Isaac does have a part in the 2021 Dune.
How are Star Wars and Dune related?
Dune author Frank Herbert was famously inspired to create Arrakis after witnessing the the “Moving Sands” of Oregon. And George Lucas “borrowed” that inspiration to build the backbone of his Star Wars galaxy.
Why is Dune compared to LOTR?
Both Dune and Lord of the Rings are basically stories of good versus evil, where the characters on the side of good are largely admirable. They struggle to defeat enemies who rule by oppression, cruelty and injustice. Good does win over evil in the end, although ultimately not permanently.
Did Dune inspire Star Wars?
It’s no secret that Star Wars borrowed heavily from Frank Herbert’s science-fiction novel Dune back when George Lucas dreamed up his galaxy far away in the 1970s. 44 years later, not much has changed, but The Book of Boba Fett is helping to improve one of the most thoughtless ways Lucas ripped off Herbert’s work.
