George Lucas ripped off Dune, and that pretty blatantly. No need to search for more hidden ripoffs.

Quora is trash, but this thread has a breakdown of many of Lucas' "inspirations", which show he was always happy to directly copy other's art. Most of it is hilariously blatant.

They mixed up Han Solo and Luke Skywalker in the article. Surely there are laws against this?

What's the bit here? 400 views so I'm guessing this is your content or someone close to you. It says Lucas killed a bunch of people, but I don't really get the joke.
