I wonder who ‘stole’ more from the Dune Series - George Lucas or George R. R. Martin.

Lucas stole primarily from the Hidden Fortress and John Carter. And Martin is primarily stealing from European history. But certainly Dune is an instruction manual for writing a HUGE story.

George R. R. Martin took more from English history (Red Wedding) and mythology than Dune.
The Star Wars I think is more a mix of Westerns, Buddhism and standard coming of age that turned into “slap everything together and add fantasy” after the first three movies (episodes four thru six).
