Other than Tatooine (which isn't a desert planet, by the way) and a sand worm (which appears in many stories), what parts of Dune you see lifted for Star Wars?

The whole point of Dune was the vulnerability of the empire to a single resource; spice. Similar to the [our] real world's relationship with oil.
I've read Dune many times. But only watched SW once or twice. I didn't "see" Dune, I was thinking of the old space opera stories - or something like Buck Rogers.

- wglb 14y agoThis article http://moongadget.com/origins/dune.html http://moongadget.com/origins/dune.html has a chart comparing story line points. I am unable to locate my copy of the book "The making of dune" in which Herbert considers taking legal action about the similarities, but decides not to.
