@CalderDune The Dune Imperium board game had an expansion in 2022 for the Bene Tleilax (and they have close ties to the movie studio for imagery). They used beetle imagery for the Tleilaxu:
1) get handed a massively popular IP that spans 17 years of successful shows.
2) realize it has millions of loyal fans, desperate for more. They are now in their 40s and 50s, flush with money. Eager to teach their kids & grandkids about Stargate.
3) you could start with this. You are already three steps up the ladder to huge success. The fans will evangelize it, if you don't wreck the IP. Don't believe it? Look how the fans evangelized Battlestar Galactica after its 30 year hiatus. And the initial Dr Who reboot after 15 years.
4) cancel the project because you want a "new take" that will eliminate all the loyal fans and turn them into bitter enemies.
It's like an ancient Greek play about hubris.
Battlestar Galactica (2004–2009) drops you straight into a fleet on the run after near-extinction, humans and Cylons circling each other, trust breaking down fast, and it just keeps tightening the pressure the whole way.
