There were many elements from Dune in episode 3.12:
- Sisterhood,
- gom jabar,
- the voice (Mother's voice sound like in Lynch's film),
- water of life,
- invisibility (from the prequel books).

I think there was a definite Bene Gesserit influence.

I know that. It's just that the OP's post made it seem like they thought the Nightsisters were made up for the Clone Wars episode

wtf are you talking about? SW has always been a complete rip off of Dune.

It's a pastiche of a number of different older sources. But it comes together in a way that makes it seem like something new and exciting.

This page is for the movie, not the series.
