    Dune is by no means a story with the same spirit as Star Wars.https://twitter.com/pptsapper/status/1433964851391565826 …

    Star Wars helped bring the US out of its post-Vietnam malaise, according to Walter Cronkite. Will Dune do the same for the post-Afghanistan era? https://twitter.com/dunemovie/status/1433823547885981704 …

        People are gonna be mad when they find out what it is, if they think it's Star Wars or Lord of the Rings.

        Good grief. No. Dune will remind everyone what good leadership looks like and shine the light on what we don't have.

        I mean, Lucas meant Star Wars as a critique of the US in Vietnam but instead we saw ourselves in the Rebels, so...

        Lucas was very good at some things. Political allegory was never one of them.
