AI Thread Summary
Tatooine, a fictional desert planet from the Star Wars franchise, is at risk of being swallowed by the Sahara Desert due to climate change and shifting landscapes. The article speculates on the future archaeological significance of Tatooine, envisioning how future archaeologists might interpret the remnants of the site. They may theorize about the inhabitants living in mud huts while possessing advanced technology that has since disappeared.

I had to look because I didn't know what a Tatooine was!

Just imagine in 1000 years when archeologists re-discover and unearth the site, the stories they will come up with on how people of that area lived in mud huts, yet had some advanced technology that has been lost to the ages.
 

Thread 'Mickey 17'

Thread 'Dune: Prophecy, what to read for additional story context?'

So far I've been enjoying the show but I am curious to hear from those a little more knowledgeable of the Dune universe as my knowledge is only of the first Dune book, The 1984 movie, The Sy-fy channel Dune and Children of Dune mini series and the most recent two movies.
