A study of Dune and it’s influence on Star Wars
September 28th - 7 Responses


Dune

The classic science fiction series Dune is one of the major bodies of work in the genre, having influenced many major movie and television films and countless science fiction novels in the time since it’s publishing in the mid-60s. One of the films to be heavily influenced by Dune was Star Wars, an influence that George Lucas is happy to admit to. Surprisingly, there were many homages to Dune in the early Star Wars scripts, though most of the Dune-like scenes were cut, there are still quite a few references in the final works which can easily be identified as clearly being influenced by Herbert’s magnificent work. Thanks to the mega-nerds at Star Wars Origins, there is an extremely informative piece on the history and influences behind Frank Herbert’s Dune and a detailed list of Dune references within the original Star Wars.

    I feel the information layed out within the post is really good. I’ve been completing a basic research about the subject matter and your post really answered a great deal of problems I had. I’m writing an essay along with term paper for my English class and actively following plenty of information sites to learn from.
