Somewhat ironic to have a Dune reference in Star Wars, no?

Why because it points out that Star Wars had about 5 hundred Dune influences? :?

That is funny. Do you remember what they said to you when you finally got the boot?
Nothing, they never said anything to anyone that I know of. They just deleted the post and banned me. By "they" I mean Byron of course, though his strings were pulled by the rest of the HLP more than he actually made his own decisions I imagine.

It's just funny to me that the original Star Wars ripped off Dune, then decades later the games reference it like it's a cool thing to do.

Bart: What are you doing here!?
Principal Skinner: (laughs) I knew egging my house was just a ploy. You see, the rat who told you about my rat... was also a rat.
Groundskeeper Willie: It was rats within rats!

This one may have been a bit of a stretch, but that's alright...

It seems, based on the comments I read, that this was a pretty horrible game.

Has anyone ever read this? It looks like it might be horrible (although I do like the cover), but who knows?
I still have a copy. Tried rereading it when I first got back to the States last Fall and was still suffering from jetlag.

It's not as funny IMHO as the LotR parody, but it has its moments. (I didn't finish rereading it last year, btw. Got able to sleep through the night and moved on to other, better things. ;) )
