Disney should have remade Dune instead.

What led you to that conclusion? Blade Runner 2049 >> Disney Star wars

Word is George Lucas was inspired by Frank Herbert for star wars

After the Phantom Menace and the mention of a Force prophecy, I felt that Aniken was partially inspired by Paul.

No

They also would have tried to make Paul a woman. No thanks.

Sure, let's take Dune away from a top 3 director alive and turn it over to theme park feminazi agenda Disney. That'll work!

I'm not saying take it away but maybe they would have handled Dune better than they did Star Wars

They would have turned Paul into Paula like the bene gessirit wanted Jessica to do smh

 

[Rhapscallion Démone]

They'd change the whole concept of the Bene Gesserit just to avoid her and Leto being in an open marriage, none of that selective breeding for centuries shyt

They touched on Black Widow being sterilized in her youth in the Avengers movies. Disney has touched on a lot of uncomfortable themes. Actually Scarlett Johansson would be a dope Lady Jessica

If it ain't Jodorowsky's vision I ain't interested

you comparing the fukkery and fallout of Paul being born to them "touching" on Natasha being sterile?

Disney prolly scared to say Mary had Jesus by somebody other than Joseph in this "Safe Space" era

Lmao I'm just saying that Disney has touched on darker themes before. I think they would have done better with Dune than they did with Star Wars

Haven’t read or watched Dune before but given this comparison and suggestion, I might have to check it out

And it’s clear they went for Star Wars because of financial reasons...

The book is better than the movie. The movie is very long winded. Great visuals for its time though

Modern Disney wouldn't touch Jessica with a 10 foot pole. They'd change the whole concept of the Bene Gesserit just to avoid her and Leto being in an open marriage, none of that selective breeding for centuries shyt

No allegory to the spice being supercoke with all the bells and whistles

No God Emperor Leto fukking over the universe for a few thousand years and shyt being better for it

No angry fat blimp people

they'd prolly have spice armor Leto toys and shyt, duncan idaho toys

You're joking, but...

I'm old enough to actually remember that the David Lunch version had a HUGE amount of marketing. The first time I ever personally heard of Dune at all was seeing the action figures at Toys R Us
