  The reason for the overlap between Star wars and Dune be them intentional or not is that George Lucas took some inspiration from that of the Dune novel. An evil space Emperor, a chosen one on a desert planet, SPICE! But it's clear to see where he diverged.

  The likening of the Harkonenn soldiers to Riot Police blew my mind. I never once thought of them like that but it makes so much sense!!

  As a neophyte to all things aesthetic, I am delighted by such a profound, brilliant and insightful analysis of the Dune movie. It is such a breath of fresh air to come across your YouTube channel. Your insights make me pine for the early days of the internet before social media made everyone’s unfiltered thoughts public. Thank you and I am looking forward to your next analysis.

  I love how diverse and cultural the design is in this movie. A universe of things to explore for the artist or designer or anyone curious. Even anthropologists and biologists with all the insectine influence on the tech.

  I think that the breeze blocks were inspired by the mashrabiya that was widely used in hot climates in the middle east.

  One small correction @<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LHb2eRv4FjI&amp;t=1385">23:05</a> : the dune story occurs in 10191 AG, or After Guild. Converting to our time its something like 23,352 A.D.

  I had a visual orgasm when I saw dune the first time, and all that you pointed out made me love it even more, I love brutalism but I didn&apos;t noticed about the rest of the references. This video deserve millions of views. So well done, I loved this video, thanks for doing it

  Very good! I like how you explain and presents the references and their historical contexts. It is also nice that you don&apos;t care to say that you can&apos;t see the references the designers themselves said to draw from, yet still mention.

  Stars wars leaned a whole lot on Herbert’s Dune. The Jedi are even based off the bene gesserit.
