I just saw the first movie with a friend and the thought went through my mind. I’m not really sure what something being derivative means, so I looked it up and apparently it’s more subjective than I realized.
What are your thoughts?

The book was derivative of sci-fi pulp at the time, which makes Herbert’s claims about Star Wars pretty funny.
What’s indisputable is that Dune itself has a pretty lasting effect on sci-fi that came after it. So, sure, it probably is, and you’re also probably picking up on elements you’ve seen in other works that were derived from Dune in turn.
