Why is Dune even considered good sci-fi? It’s more fantasy than Star Wars. Except for maybe replacing the ornithopters with blimps, you could change everything to a pseudo-medieval setting and it wouldn’t change anything in the story.
Why is star wars science fiction when its closer to a mix of fantasy and spaghetti western? We have often chosen to classify works based in large part by their tropes and trappings. I think its a good work because it explores interesting themes, settings, and characters with the trappings and tropes of science fiction.
You’ve missed most of the point of the books. Do you actually read science fiction? If so what is a better example of good science fiction?

I get the point, beware of charismatic leaders. I just think it is told poorly via story of Paul Atreides.
That isn’t it
Ok👍
