Dune (1984)
Dune, the epic science fiction classic penned by the redoubtable Frank Herbert, is a vast, mind-boggling melange of elements borrowed from Shakespeare, the Koran, classical mythology, ecology, and late Sixties psychedelia. Even a cursory examination of the plot can leave one feeling lost in a labyrinthine novel of sandworms, spice, Fremen, Third-Stage Guild Navigators floating in gassy tanks of green, and the power and might of the God-Man, Mu'adib, named after "the mouse shadow on the second moon."
Life on Mars
It's amazing how astral travel allows everyone to travel wherever they want. There are millions of panets in the universe that we can explore with our spiritual bodies. I believe that everyone can, but not everyone knows how to use this means of communication.

Most of the Star Wars fanbase can agree on very few things, but they all agree that Dave Filoni is no phony baloney. With Obi-Wan Kenobi set to come out May 27th, The Bad Batch who knows when, and Ahsoka not too far off in the future, there is only one show in the franchise that scratches all those itches. That show is Star Wars: Rebels. We see the Ghost crew develop from a band of misfits into a family for four seasons. We also see both Ahsoka Tano and Obi-Wan Kenobi; actually, Ahsoka has a pretty significant role. In this article, we would like to give you a few reasons why Rebels is worth your attention or reexamination if you've seen it. As a fair warning, there will be some major spoilers for Rebels ahead.
Culture SlatePublished 2 years ago in FuturismWhy The Kenobi Series Belongs To The Prequel 'Star Wars' Generation
The hum of a lightsaber slicing through the air, the adrenaline-inducing music leading into the opening crawl, the sight of Darth Maul activating his double-bladed lightsaber in preparation for an epic duel. Whether it was due to one of these examples or numerous others, children and adults alike have found reasons to fall in love with Star Wars. Although we all share an infatuation for what is undoubtedly one of the greatest stories to ever appear on the big screen, this generational love for the galaxy far, far away has led to a claiming of Star Wars content. The sequel trilogy belongs to the new generation, while the original trilogy is for the older generations. To those of us born in the 1990s and early 2000s, the prequels are ours, and by extension, we claim Obi-Wan Kenobi.

Jason DvorinPublished 2 years ago in FuturismOpinion: Why Rey Deserves the Skywalker Name
The Star Wars sequels. Probably some of the most divisive content in all of Star Wars. Some people love them, and some people hate them. Some say, “you’re not a real fan if you like the sequels.” Whatever you may think about them, they did give us some great moments and characters. One of those characters is Rey. (And yes, she is a great character). Throughout the movies, she tries to figure out who her parents are and who she is. It isn’t until The Rise of Skywalker that she finds out she is the granddaughter of the one and only Sheev Palpatine. However, she doesn’t let this define her and fights against him and the dark side and eventually wins against him. After everything is over, she honors the Skywalker legacy one last time and takes the name Rey Skywalker - which she deserves.
