Re: Star Wars, George Lucas and the Power of Ki

I understand Lucas also got some ideas from the best-selling sci-fi book of all time, Dune. I have only read the first in this series by Frank Herbert. I do wonder from where Herbert got his ideas. There is nothing totally new under the sun, so we influence each other with what has influenced us. I think this is fine. What good comes from re-inventing the wheel? On a side note, Leonard Sensei's work Mastery, as well as The Way of Aikido: Life Lessons from an American Sensei, have enriched my life substantially. Did he invent the non-fiction book or the word processor?
