I don't think so... but they do farm moisture!
Spice is mined on Kessel, not Tatooine
Well, they might not mine it there, but as of Book of Boba Fett they sure do traffic it there.
Pure coincidence I suppose
The Sarlac pit is also not at all inspired by sand worms.
No, it's not.
The skeleton 3PO walks by in A New Hope however...
...and sandcrawlers...
...and the Jedi Mind trick...
No, seriously, if we're up in arms over plagiarism then boycott Lucasfilm.

And The Dam Busters.
This thread is hilarious.
Kurosawa might have something to say about that.
What you are referencing in those movies aren't that the each copied off of each other but that they are all inspired by similar sources. Lucas, Tolkien, and Herbert were all open in acknowledging the inspirations for their stories. There isn't anything wrong with a work being inspired by works that were themselves inspired by earlier works in a similar fashion.
The Inheritance Cycle flat-out copy-pastes its plot from Star Wars and Dune, its Elven lore from Lord of the Rings, and its dragon/dragonriding lore and mechanics from Anne McCaffrey, and the author makes no attempt to even disguise the fact that he wholesale cribbed from those stories.
So if it combines them, then you have a totally different picture from the individual parts, right?
No, because the author didn't bother creating an original story from the stuff he cribbed; he just pasted it all together and stuck his name on the resulting manuscript.
Don't the Thrawn books have force users being used as navigators in wildspace (or whatever it's called) because it's the only safe way to travel and no computer can do it as well?
And he profitted - amazing job by a 15 year old!
He's still guilty of plagiarism and only got to publish that plagiarism because his parents started a book company.
No, he wouldn’t, because he didn’t.
He did, however, have something to say about an *actual* case of plagiarism: A Fistful Of Dollars. Which is an almost shot for shot remake of Yojimbo. He sued and won a legal case over it.
But you said ownership doesn't matter. WB is propogating plagerism with the Shazam movies!
Besides ,WB Discovery didn't own superman when the plagerism occurred then there either. It's the exact same situation.

It really is. Yea, Paolini was fifteen, but it's still Eye of Argon-level bad. (Yes, I read it. I haven't read any of the others, but I suffered through Eragon. I really don't know why I did that to myself.)
I thought it was a nice touch that the film adaptation acknowledged the Star Wars rip-off nature of the story by homaging a couple of shots, like Eragon watching the sun the way Luke does on Tatooine.
