Although they mentioned spice in the original trilogy, is bringing it to the 
forefront now a nice homage to Frank Herbert's Dune?

A lot of people implied that George Lucas was influenced, shall we say, and 
make comparisons to Arrakis/Paul/Muad'Dib and Tatooine/Luke, throwing an 
orange spice into the mix makes it even more evident.

They both ultimately owe a lot to Lawrence of Arabia.
