There are also connections between the unfilmed Dune (developed by director Alejandro Jodorowsky), Star Wars and Alien...
The project was sabotaged in Hollywood. It was French and not American. Its message was not "enough Hollywood". There were intrigues, plundering. The story-board circulated among all the large studios. Later, the visual aspect of Star Wars resembled our style. To make Alien, they invited Moebius, Foss, Giger, O'Bannon, etc. The project announced to American the possibility of carrying out science fiction films to large spectacle and out of the scientific rigour of 2001: A Space Odyssey.
Jodorowsky is a damn loon, and his film would have been pretencious trash. The Lynch Dune, flawed as it is, is infinitly better than Jodorowsky on his best day.
"The visual aspects of Star Wars resembled our style" is vague, unprovable, and for my money nonsense.
