Dune: Prophecy star Emily Watson is a Star Wars fan, but she doesn't think the upcoming prequel series compares to George Lucas's sci-fi franchise.
"Don’t get me wrong, I love Star Wars. I’m a huge Star Wars fan. But we’re in a universe where there isn’t 'right' anymore. There aren’t goodies and baddies. Everything is relative," Watson tells GamesRadar+ during an exclusive interview at New York City Comic Con. "You and everybody are morally flawed, for some very deeply and some lesser, but moral relativism and compromise and human flaws are very much what drive the story forward."
The actor previously told Total Film that Dune: Prophecy is a "very interesting palette because it’s not childish… it’s not like Star Wars. It has a moral complexity, which is interesting." In the Star Wars universe, good and evil are painted very, very clearly by way of the Imperial Empire vs. the Rebel Alliance, whereas morale is much murkier in Frank Herbert's Dune-iverse.
"We say the show is B.C.: Before Chalamet," Watson jokes.
