      Does that mean Obi-Wan knows the ways of the Bene Gesserit witches? They’re the only power in the known universe who can use the Voice.

      Is he the Kwisatz Haderach?

          Will they though?

          That song is full of mixed messages. I still have no clue what a Zig-a-zig-ahh is, and I’m pretty certain that if I took them at their word, they’d get mad when I “got with their friends.”

    Star Wars is a knockoff of Dune even Frank Herbert thought it was ripping off many things. He said that if George Lucas didn’t rip him off then he at least owed him dinner for all the coincidences

        He is dead, but his son and another “author” wrote a large amount of sequels, prequels, and spinoffs with the “of Dune” added on to sell hot trash.

        That is directly ripping off his ideas unlike anything Games Workshop could ever do.

          They shat on his ideas lol

          But you can’t say they ripped off his ideas, as the books are technically cannon and direct sequels. Sadly…

            Apparently based on notes Frank left, for all we know his “notes” could have been:

            1.) Write more Dune books. 2.) profit.

      If anything, Star Wars is a rip off of “The Hidden Fortress”. I’m not super knowledgeable about Dune, what parts did George take?

        I don’t have a full list but Frank Herbert had once said there was 16 coincidences between the two stories. One or two is a random chance, 16 is plagiaristic.

      Why of course - I love when the space wizards of Dune start doing a bunch of flips while waving around their glowing blades made of pure light.

        Well when you read the last book and learn about Miles Teg you will see the spice wizard. The laser swords though wouldn’t happen. When a laser intersects with a shield then a giant atomic explosion happens.

    Both also suffer from a lack of pigmentation even though they are constantly showered in ultraviolet radiation.

      There were memes a few years ago using that pic of Master Kenobi, that claimed that people gave the picture to elderly relatives that thought it was a picture of Jesus.

      Yeah narratively Anakin, Luke, and Rey would be Space Jesus, but Kenobi looks like the classic pictures of “white Jesus.”

      Spice Jesus transcends Space Jesus as the latter is far far away and long long ago, where the former is now and forever the only true salvation of all plebian people against His white AF ancestors. (see also: Lieutenant John Dunbar and Jake Sully, et al)

      Praise Be His Most Generous Renunciation of Inborn Privilege. May we Always Strive to be Worthy of such Salvation.
