      The unconventional take is that, while yes Star Wars came after and was influenced by the book, it took to the screen before the 1984 or obviously this version. And Star Wars influences everything after it. Its a more complicated interplayhttps://twitter.com/HeerJeet/status/1454125877495619592 …

      1. You see people saying "Dune" is a "Star Wars" rip-off and the first impulse is just to laugh b/c of course the novel Dune predates Star Wars & influenced it etc. But there's a larger thing at work, which is the shared universe of the science fiction genre. pic.twitter.com/Deh1spqhoL

      But there was a Dune movie in the work before 1977, Lucas himself expressed interest in doing Dune, and there are Dune themes all over Star Wars. A real "I'm my own grand-pa" situation.

          Don Coscarelli's 1979 horror classic, Phantasm, lifts the entire box scene from Dune.

          The narrative debt goes from Star Wars to Dune. The cinematographic debt goes from Dune to Star Wars. Think of it that way and we don't have to worry about upsetting the space-time continuum. Hawkings's arrow of time still only points in one direction.
