Dune and Star Wars... uuuh... hello there?

Okay I know I'm super late. I just came back from the cinema where I finally watched 'Dune'. And I'm reading it now - not being among the readers who knew the story long before its adaptations.

And I came out thinking that not only is this story powerful, shaking, terrible and the visual experience truly this - an experience. But also feeling that... hey. Hey. Major similarities with Star Wars here. And Dune was *prior*.

Arrakis and Tatooine, the Fremen and the Sand People, the Emperor, the Space Guild, Spices, Imperial Armies, even what Paul Atreides experiences as 'awakening' can be linked to something like the Force. And the sandworms?Come on.

Of course Star Wars expanded to its own universe with ramifications and characters and stories of their own. And it's fine.

But... so should Dune. It's less known, for now. And it will probably change.

It's just... I can't get over the feeling that much of Star Wars was inspired from Dune. Without acknowledging it - or perhaps I just missed it.

Anyway - the beautiful thing about stories is that they always merge and that inspiring characters will be loved no matter the universe. And fandoms expand like galaxies of their own :). So don't let it trouble you - but if you like Star Wars, check out Dune. You might be surprised.

Is it me or does Jason Shaw from RoD slightly look like Alaric Saltzman (Matthew Davis) from TVD?

Creepy Cop Shaw reminds me of when Saltzman had turned into a maniacal vampire hunter. Anyone else?
