Did Star Wars steal from Dune?
There are similarities between Star Wars and Dune. Both of them have sword fights. Both of them have sand planets. Tattooing is very similar to the planet setting, and both of them have sandworms.
Interactive Map Creation
Hi, everyone! I'm here to share the news that Fandom made available a new interactive map feature, and it has now been released to wikis. It's possible to have maps uploaded and edited to add points of interest with links to content pages on the wiki, etc.
This should be an interesting feature for a lot of wikis, and I think the Dune Wiki could benefit by having some maps, such as the map of Arrakis, etc. You can check the help page on Interactive Maps for more info.
Creating and editing maps is restricted to administrators and certain users that have the editinteractivemap user right. Since there are no active admins here at the moment, if anyone wants to try out the feature, I'd be happy to look into giving you access (as long as you've been …

Modern Martial Arts Sources and the Weirding Way
Hello there, I'm new here but was wondering about whether folk were aware of any modern day martial arts akin to the Weirding Way. It is clear a number of 'real' sources were drawn upon by Frank Herbert for the religion and also conflict found in the books and it would be interesting to learn where the idea came from to base a martial art on the Hindu/Buddhist prana-bindu system (or tsa-lung in Tibetan Buddhism). I know of one martial art grounded in that methodology (search for the Gar-Tak Dancing Tiger martial art) but I was wondering if there is an existing 'source' in the books.
Greetings anyone?

Thank you all for such an enlightening site
I have been a rabid Dune fan since 1985. I have read and re-read and re-read every book by Frank Herbert. At first I was apprehensive about the new Dune books but I got over that very quickly. Brian's writing style is not like his father but he does tell a great story.
If I had to have a favorite it would be a dead tir between Heretics and Chapterhouse. What an amazing cast of characters and there is so much to learn about our common humainty in those two books.
Thank you ALL again for the remarkable job you have done on this site.
