damn i’ve never had an unimportant opinio i’ve been more pissed about

A STORY ABOUT THE FALL OF DEMOCRACY AND RISE OF FASCISM ISNT AT ALL EQUIVALENT TO AN AUTOCRAT BECOMING A RELIGIOUS AUTOCRAT! THE VIEW OF POLITICS AND SOCIALITY AND COMMUNITY ARE COMPLETELY DIFFERENT! THE FORCE AS A MORAL AND MAGIC SYSTEM IS INCOMPARABLE TO ANYTHING IN DUNE!

If you end your Star Wars understanding with the movies sure I guess, by the Revenge of the Sith Novelization is one of the most poetic and tragic political-love story I’ve ever read. Comparing Feyd to Maul because they’re… angry and bald? Im struggling to get how one of the most eloquent Sith we meet correlates to this fuck.

Plagueis is a political novel on the same scale as Dune, with a far more rich, compelx and well developed universe. Dune is soft Sci-Fi and while a lot of it is really well developed, you can FEEL its gaps in a way you can’t with star wars

#twitter #dune #star wars #they’re not comparable #Nine Movies designed for mass consuption or a niche and hyper detailed book that just do happened to become a seminole work?#And there is so much more beyond the movies #largely cause they got multiple authors #it ainr frank building it by scratch but a proffessional team of aurhors and worldbuilders #Things can exist without being copies/rip offs #what you’re looking for is:#Valerian and Laurekine #flash gordon #lotr #the BIBLE #Paul doesnt get a heroes journey #Lucas adapted the heroes journey literally for his main plot #Leto II =\= Luke
