How would Steven redeem him?

No Dune is literally Barsoom

And The Hidden Fortress, George also said that Luke backstory and home is based on Frodo.

Dune was inspired by Barsoom/Warlord of Mars.

>True. It's literal sci-fi stew, but it's good stew.
Not really.

>The one below all
That just makes him sound like a chump. Heaven and hell metaphors don't always translate.

Not that user but Star Wars is just as guilty as Warhammer for ripping Dune. The Jedi are literally Dune Fremen and the Mandalorians are part of a inspired Dune faction.

This, hell Star wars even ripped certain themes from lensman novels.

Green Lantern is also a Lensman rip-off.

>Massive human galatic empire with countless worlds covering the entire Milky Way galaxy
>empire is extremely corrupt decadent and dying after thousands of years
>Some individual use a bullshit sci fi trick to predict the future and with it create the ultimate secret plan to remake society into a better civilization
>dude psychic fags solve everything

Dune is nothing more than The Foundation,

This as well.
