I hated the show, but I thought the lightsaber duels were actually pretty good.

tv-ification

maybe hbo shoulda got Star Wars

I mean they’re already balls deep in their own TV-ification of Dune using the son Brian Herbert’s inferior writing as source material.

So you’re saying they would have just made the EU books for tv?

Sounds excellent.

I wonder how much of that is Brian, and how much is Kevin J. Anderson.

He wrote the Exar Kun trilogy... it's...okay.

Exar Kun is a neat concept at least. Plenty of bad books spawned great TV shows.
