I have no skin in this game, but it's a hilarious take

Star Wars came after Dune. Star Wars is just Dune for people who listen to jizz.

[–] [email protected] 28 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I'm not sure if you meant Jaz and had a typo or the canonical star wars musical genres that somehow actually exists called jizz.

[–] [email protected] 51 points 2 months ago (3 children)

If you've seen the original first movie(ep4) when they go into the bar and meet Solo for the first time. There's an alien band playing space jazz, canonically that space jazz is named jizz.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Further funnies:

The alien playing the weird saxophone?

Their species?

Yeah it's called 'bith'

There is a Bith playing Jizz at the Star Wars Cantina.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 2 months ago (1 children)

The cantina band is Figrin D'an and the Modal Nodes, but apparently Max Rebo is the true jizz-wailer (as they're canonically called).

Hehe

Fingering Dan and the Module Nudes.

My Dune, My Jizz, My Arrakis

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 months ago

The Clone Wars movie also had a bar where the band was playing a bit schmaltzy. Schmaltzy Jizz.

Star Wars is Dune for people that love WWII and samurai movies.

Dune is the Foundation series for people that like mushrooms more than math and have weird ideas about women fueled by angst over their wife divorcing them.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 months ago

I mean Foundation is for people who have no thoughts about women so maybe a slight improvement.

(Half joking?)

Foundation is more like for people who prefer ketamine and mushrooms.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago

Where can I find jizz music?

Star Wars is Dune for people who like original stories and like to read.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 2 months ago

Wait a minute

[–] [email protected] 14 points 2 months ago (3 children)

Wait a minute. I listen to ~~poob~~ Tool but prefer Star Wars, what does that mean?

Can confirm, gay space worm

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Nah, kid. I'm 10,000% gay.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I have been looking at this for 5 minutes and still can’t decide if it’s ten or ten thousand

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Yeah comma as a decimal people have ruined a perfectly easy to understand number system.

I don't listen to Tool, but I do like Dune and Star Wars without being a massive nerd about either. Though I respect massive nerds. Massive nerds are cool.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 2 months ago (1 children)

You should probably listen to Tool.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 months ago

Seems like it

[–] [email protected] 13 points 2 months ago

The Force in StarWars: little microbes in your blood that are magic.

The Force in Dune: Space drugs.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 2 months ago

Dune is star wars for people who eat magic mushrooms

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I think Dune is closer to game of thrones, especially the politics side, Leto II (let's make him not worm like in this example) would have everyone under his thumb in Westeros, ruled over everyone

[–] [email protected] 13 points 2 months ago (1 children)

But would you still love him as a worm?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

I would but it would make his character too overpowered, he would be bran with the all seeing eye and have superhuman strength speed like children of Dune and his burrowing, healing abilities in God emperor. He does have a great weakness with water, but even that would be trivial to him

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (3 children)

I listen to Tool, but do not watch or want to watch both Star Wars and Dune.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 months ago

It would be pretty unpleasant watching both Star Wars and Dune. I would recommend watching them one at a time so that you can understand them.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 months ago

do you need to watch things die (from a great distance?)

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)
[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 months ago
[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 months ago (1 children)

But I don't listen to Tool.

...well, not exclusively.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Have you heard of wheel? They are very similar

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago
[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I listen to tool, I've seen star wars, I don't really have any interest in dune.

I'm probably broken though.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (2 children)

Okay but what if I told you that a few books in, Luke Skywalker's kid becomes a sarlaac pit and won't stop resurrecting Chewbacca no matter how many times he tries to die?

... Is that appealing?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 months ago

Put it like that and Dune is even less appealing

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago

Not really.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 months ago
[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 months ago

Must be why I think Dream Theater is better
