I've not read the book and haven't seen the original movie. I know nothing of this world.


The Hollywood elevator pitch today would be "Game of Thrones in space (or at least on several planets)". Ironically GoT owes a lot to Dune, as I'm sure GRRM would tell anyone who asked.

The SF themes list is: far future, anti-technology with human ability substitution, rotten Empire with well-defined factions, focus on the human condition, ecology, and the fallacies of prophecy. It's an astonishing novel.


Gotcha. Star Wars.

Could you imagine Darth Vader on the spice?!
