@HistoPol I stumbled across a blog many years ago of someone who wanted to make SF as good as Lucas, and he'd read the concept that to learn the master's ways, you have to walk the master's path (or something like that).

So, he retraced Lucas' influences all the way back to #Lensman, through the #GreenLanterns, then #Dune and the #BeneGesserit, which all lead to #StarWars. His argument, and I think he's right, is that SF has been doing "galactic cop" stories for decades.
