Subject: Thanks guys...and just for Star Wars comparisons
In reply to: G-Lock 's message, "This might help as well..." on 20:22:14 05/29/03 Thu

Thanks for the help guys, I will definitely utilize those websites.

And just a quick response to the Star Wars is Dune article:

I know that Frank Herbert accused George Lucas of plageurizing him (though I feel Herbert almost insulted the intelligence of his work in doing so).

But with the prequels I would think the character comparisons are in fact a little different now (some of these I am stretching for fun):

Anakin Skywalker = Paul Atreides
Padme Amidala = Chani (daughter of Liet, queen of Fremen)
Luke Skywalker = Leto Atreides II
Leia Organa Skywalker = Ghanima Atreides
Shmi Skywalker = Lady Jessica Atreides
Qui Gon Jinn = Duke Leto
Obi Wan Kenobi = Stilgar or Gurney Halleck
Emperor Palpatine = Shaddam IV/ Baron Harkonnen
Jabba the Hutt = Baron Harkonnen
Darth Maul = Feyd Rautha Harkonnen
Han Solo = Duncan Idaho
Jango Fett = Beast Rabban
Count Dooku = Piter Devries
Yoda = Gaius Helen Mohiam (WHAT?)


Okay I'm reaching here, but these figures are archetypical in many ways and it is interesting to see similarities. However, it seems that the Luke = Paul comparison no longer lines up as well as the Anakin = Paul match does.
