Similarities between Star Wars and Dune
Time
* They both take place significantly on a desert planet.
* The emperor in both universes is a real sonofabitch.
* The central character in both has to develop latent superhuman powers in order to rally his rebels to victory over the evil empire.
* Both have a bad guy who is a really "fat, nasty, greasy, fat, stank, bloated, cheesy-backed, twelve-sandwich-eating bastard" (bonus points if you can name the source of that quote)
* They both have a central character who is a son avenging the betrayal and murder of his father.
* They both have six official parts, plus a whole host of expanded universe writings.
* Film from the 80s is dark, brooding, and masterful filmmaking. Film from this decade is WAY to reliant on CGI, to the point it looks like people walking around in a videogame.
* In Dune, the sleeper must awaken. In the Prequels, if you're awake, you'll probably be put to sleep.

Elaborate and discuss.

<em><strong>The &quot;Darth Editous / ADigitalMan Hybrid Edition&quot; Info and Feedback Thread</strong></em> (Released)

There probably won't be a need for my version when DE is done. About all I did was restore some OOT sound elements, kill the landing on the Executor and the new dialog with Ian McD, and get rid of the smooch. If that latter bit stays in, it's not a big deal. DE's work is far more extensive and it sounds like it incorporates almost everything I did and fifty times that. I'm looking forward to this.

Maybe Larry Flynt could be added as well, after all, he did have the freedom of the press and of speech question definitively answered by the supreme court. He also continues to this day to keep the politicians on their guard. He, yet again, posted a 1,000,000 reward for any evidence of any Washington politicians involved in sex scandels.

I'd place Flynt over Hef in terms of being a Great American, compared to a guy who just really likes boobies. Why can't we catch more of these Washington Pervs on tape? You want tact, call a tactician. You want a ass nailed, you come see Gus Petch. We need Gus Petch to "Nail Yo' Ass" in Washington.

Han never shot first! (NOT what you think)
Time
I personally feel that it would help Han Solo's character if Vader picked up a blaster and shot at him on Bespin first. It would only be logical that Vader would shoot and miss anyway, since he's only skilled with a lightsaber. That would go a long way to creating continuity with Han's "I can't shoot you unless you shoot at me first at point-blank range and miss" character trait.
