What's the Star Wars of literature?
>don't say Lord of the Rings
But it is Lord Of The Fucking Rings...

Let me explain why I don't think so. Star Wars is a lot more focused on individual struggles between good and evil whereas LoTR is a much more clear physical struggle between good and evil characters. Lord of the Rings has a static plot (the quest to defeat Sauron) whereas Star Wars has a set of conflicts which exist ad-infinitum between the dark side and the light side. Philosophically they are miles apart.
What is a series that brings together all these disparate genre tropes and homages to make something that popularizes a once dead and quaint genre?
Harry Potter
A Song of Ice and Fire...
Jon will end up almost/banging his family member just like Luke.

The fucking Iliad; OP (Homer) made critically acclaimed sequal and then handed off the reins. Everyone's (virgial, george clooney, etc.)been copying ever since
Dune. Disney is Herbert jnr.
Plus it's literature so the originals are actually worth reading.

It's Dune. And Lucas is a very underrated storyteller. Sure some of his dialogue is painful but he's not making plays. He's a pioneer of his medium and the efforts that he went to to make Star Wars 1-6 feel like a true saga rather than just a story that got chronologically extended five times is truly impressive.

Kull-wahad! This for Leto's sake!
Star wars is pretty much Dune for dumbs, the force, the Jedi Bindu, the messianic stuff..
