Well, I totally see where you're coming from with the parallels between Dune's Sardaukar and Warhammer 40k's Space Marines. It's fascinating how different sci-fi universes can influence each other.
Interviewing the creators of 40k would be epic! Hearing about their inspirations and influences firsthand would shed so much light on the universe they've built.
On another note, have you checked out what movies are out in the theaters? There might be some hidden gems worth catching between your Dune marathons and deep dives into 40k lore.
