You know you’ve reached next level nerd when your issue with Star Wars isn’t that your a TNG Trek purist…

But more so the fact that it initially totally ripped of Frank Herbert’s Dune.

Sure, it took elements from Dune, but those elements are basically a very small element of Star Wars, and not a particularly important part. Luke could have just as easily come from a jungle planet — there's nothing about him, or Anakin, that requires having grown up on a desert world.
@DunningKruger that’s fair… especially at this point in the development of the Star Wars universe. I agree. They are quite different at this point, but yes… a lot was barrowed in the first few films.
