I didn't read "Maker of Dune", but Starts Wars plot as litle in common with Dune, i think the similarities with Akira Kurosawa films is right on. By the way the Dune movie from 1984 is a much better plot than Star Wars, it's really a shame that didn't come to fruition it got lost on the directors cut, it should have been cut in 2 or 3 movies.

I'm sure a Dune remake is in our near future.

  The Sci-Fi channel miniseries was not terrible. At least it matched up with what I imagined when I was reading the book, unlike the movie. Seriously, weirding modules? What the hell was that?

A chosen (by fate), mystically empowered son on a desert planet becomes a core player in the revolt against a galactic empire.

  Sounds like the New Testament. Which is probably why they didn't sue Lucas. You need more than a similar plot to win a lawsuit.

    The story of a Saviour born in a shitty place to free it's people from oppression is a recurring model on human history.

"I didn't read "Maker of Dune"" I highly recommend the book. It was quite good. I am not a fan of the latter Dune books, but this biography was a very interesting and illuminating one.
