Most of the time when people say they have an unpopular opinion, it turns out it's actually pretty popular.

Do you have some that's really unpopular and most likely will get you downvoted?

Dune is exactly what Lucas was copying when he wrote Star wars.

    I thought he copied the lord of the rings.

    Young guy gets cast into adventure by a grey wizard to battle and defeat an evil villain clad in black.

    J.R.R. Tolkien's Lord of the Rings was a principal driving force in the early drafts of the 1977 film. In fact, Lucas nearly copied Tolkien's dialogue, word-for-word, borrowing Gandalf's greeting to Bilbo in The Hobbit.

    Both works are based on the conflict between the ultimate good and the ultimate evil. The two sides are represented by a single protagonist, surrounded by a team of helper characters, and a villain, supported by extensive antagonistic forces.

    Licas has often cited The Lord of the Rings as a major influence on Star Wars. The superficial stuff is the most obvious, but the subtle lesson Lucas learned from Tolkien is how to handle the delicate stuff of myth. Tolkien wrote that myth and fairytale seem to be the best way to communicate morality.
