Lucas has often acknowledged Dun

an inspiration. In early drafts of the

Star Wars script the influence was

much more obvious. The final version of Star Wars is

related to Dune mostly in spirit: a

science fiction heroic fantasy trea

seriously. Of all the ideas George L

inherited from Frank Herbert, the

subtle lesson was how to use scien

fiction to create myth.
