I don't know anything about Dune, does it have Magic (the Force)?

No. But it has drugs that make you accurately predict the near and far future. And turn you into an immortal worm eventually.
The voice… Prana-bindu, there’s others, but spoilers ahoy.
Yeah.
Tap for spoiler
But non of it is magic. More like crazy mastery of your own body to a degree that it seems like magic.
The majority of force abilities is basically that. Voice control isn’t mastery of muscle or nerve, it isn’t magic in a sense, but controlling someone’s mind to do what you want for all intents and purposes is.
Also, where do you think Star Wars got inspiration for most of their force abilities at the start?
I have no opinion on the Star Wars/Dune debate but that is one fantastic comment. Kudos to the author, brought me quite a smile.
The most funny thing about this is when Google AI will pick this as the true answer to the creation of Dune
Ha! This is a glorious future we’re living in…
Had me in the first half ngl
I got slightly heated myself...
My friend, who has never watched Star Trek, was convinced it was Star Wars ripoff.
My personal faves are the claims that the cybermen are ripping off the borg and that Pratchett's Unseen University is a hogwarts copy.
And Battle Royale totally ripped off Hunger Games
Which doesn't change the fact that the new movies are snoozefest
I found them to be the best movies I've ever seen. But that's the great thing about being human, we don't all have to like the same stuff! It would be wierd if we did.
Star Wars is the plot of Hidden Fortress, in a universe similar to Dune, in the style of Flash Gordon, but with genius special effects and Jaws level care for every aspect of the production of the film itself.
The music tends to be left off lists like this but without that fabulous score and the genius of John Williams and the London Symphony Orchestra, Star Wars would not have had the same emotional impact.
So, an original work then.
Good artists copy, great artists steal
Sounds like an AI prompt
