In the case of dune is pretty easy to answer as the saga written by Frank Herbert was one of the main inspirations for George Lucas when he was creating war of stars. dune also has a strong political background, and the story also revolves around a huge war between some of the most powerful people in the universe, their armies, and those who are just trying to be free and live how they want without obeying repressive governments.

The Chronicles of Riddick includes some epic space battles, of course, and also revolves around a conqueror who wants the rest of the universe to respond to his commands. The story takes place in a universe where a race called the Necromongers travels through space finding planets to conquer the people who live on them and transform them into their own kind. Tired of living in this reality, a group of rebels go in search of a notorious fugitive named Riddick, whom they need to defeat the Necromancers.

Snyder also noted himself that Akira Kurosawa Seven samurai was a major inspiration for his new franchise. rebel moon launches on Netflix on December 22nd, while the sequel is scheduled for release on April 19th, 2024.
